It has recently been announced that following the Insolvency Service’s decision to reverse their original plans to close and merge their Medway office with their office in Whitstable, a new site has now been located in Chatham Dockyard. The Insolvency Service’s preference was to co-locate both their offices into a new single site, to be occupied from late 2013.

In response to the news, Tracey said:

“Following the announcement last year of the plans to close and merge the Medway office, along with Mark Reckless MP I have had a series of meetings with Ministers at the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills and the Insolvency Service to lobby strongly against the planned closure. I have also worked closely with staff and union representatives at the Medway office to ensure their concerns have been heard. Therefore I am delighted that the Insolvency Service has finally confirmed that they will be keeping an office in the Medway area, which will be welcomed by both staff and those living locally in need of using the service.”
