Call for Nottinghamshire County Council to scrap new offices plan
Opposition members of Nottinghamshire County Council have called on the authority to scrap plans for new offices and to invest the money in fixing roads. The Independent Alliance, which is the joint opposition at the county council along with Labour, has proposed amendments to the authority's budget plans for the next financial year.
One of the key elements to the development was for new county council offices at Top Wighay. Plans were even mooted for the county council to vacate its County Hall headquarters and relocate some services to the new Top Wighay building, though the authority has stressed no decision has been made on the future of County Hall.
"Since coronavirus, working habits have changed forever yet the County Council think it's a good idea to build new offices anyway. For me, a balanced, legal budget which fixes our broken roads and pavements is a no brainer."
