Letter: Council offices - Retain the centrepiece
Now I am calling on those people to support my suggestion for the council offices, which are due to be remarketed in the next few months. I would love to make sure the civic heart of the building, the stairway, Council Chamber and Mayor’s parlour are retained and the two wings converted into apartments.
I would envisage this civic heart being used by the Mayor to host civic guests and the Council Chamber used for various functions such as wedding ceremonies, dinners etc.
