To provide an update on phase 1 of the Council’s Accommodation Strategy and seek endorsement of phase 2 of the Strategy.
That:
To allow the rationalisation of the Council’s property portfolio to progress and achieve the changes agreed in the Office Accommodation Strategy.
There were a range of options for the phase 2 Easthampstead House works schedule including moving the minority groups room to 2nd floor but there was insufficient free space available. Other options were to move the mayoral suite and use the fourth floor as the space for the Construction and Maintenance team.
