@loop_pool

there is so much empty office space in the town centre - there must be something that's suitable!

2:38AM Tue, May 29 2012

@CllrDaisyBenson

indeed!The proposal is to go for one of two existing offices - not build a new one.

@Eastreadingcom East Reading

@ReadingCouncil Just rent a cheap place like everyone else, keep min staff that need to see public in the center of #rdg

3:26AM Tue, May 29 2012

@Eastreadingcom East Reading

@ReadingCouncil Make as many staff work from home as possible and have a small customer facing office.

3:28AM Tue, May 29 2012

@CllrDaisyBenson

@readingcouncil I think that is definitely part of the plan - under the guise of 'new ways of working'

3:33AM Tue, May 29 2012

@Eastreadingcom East Reading

@readingcouncil rental of office space is about £15 sq ft or m? per year, Area civic building x £15 sq ft per year max

4:49AM Tue, May 29 2012

@Eastreadingcom East Reading

@readingcouncil I don't see any need to buy offices, most companies just rent off specialist office management companies

4:52AM Tue, May 29 2012

@ReadingCouncil Reading

@CllrDaisyBenson Council considered renting. Over 25 years buying is cheaper and gives council an asset. #rdg

@CllrDaisyBenson

thanks for the prompt reply!

@gavinaldrich

ugly building, sell the land for a small fortune and relocate to less central spot with only a satellite office in centre.

5:39AM Tue, May 29 2012

@CllrDaisyBenson

recommendation up for debate is to move to another central Reading location, demolish civic centre & regenerate civic area

@eightiesdisco Berkshire

If the entrance to the civic centre car park was covered over there would be a lovely open space created.

@Eastreadingcom East Reading

@CllrDaisyBenson Not sure i agree with this analysis, who knows what is going to be worth in 25 years time?

8:04AM Tue, May 29 2012

@Eastreadingcom East Reading

@CllrDaisyBenson Renting gives much more flexibility and frees up capital to be used for providing services?

8:05AM Tue, May 29 2012

@Eastreadingcom East Reading

@CllrDaisyBenson What justification is their for a nursery? surely the council does not have a recruitment problem?

@Eastreadingcom East Reading

@CllrDaisyBenson a company would look at the return on the asset, not just the having an asset!

8:23AM Tue, May 29 2012

@gavinaldrich

it doesn't make sense for another town location. would be cheaper to buy on outskirts and help improve that area. #rdg

@Eastreadingcom East Reading
