From the Maitland Mercury report:
A man whose ancestors settled in Morpeth in 1838 has raised fears over plans for the redevelopment of historic Morpeth House to provide facilities for seniors.
Kevin Lord, who lives near the planned development in St Albans Place, has called for Morpeth House to be restored to its original condition.
Mr Lord also wants the chapel at Morpeth House to be restored and used as a place of worship, as it was originally.
In a letter to Maitland City Council’s general manager, Mr Lord said he was objecting to the planned redevelopment of Morpeth House to provide community facilities for seniors.
