  8. Background: • Following interviews with the Executive Directors, space planning consultants have carried out an analysis of the Council’s future accommodation requirements. • CELG have agreed a set of high level principles, which will provide the framework for how we will work both now, and within the new office portfolio. • The Office Portfolio is defined as any building owned, leased or occupied by Council staff as an office base, either exclusively or on a shared basis.

  9. Centralisation of Resources: Principles • ICT provision will be a central resource • Meeting Rooms and Conference Facilities will be shared. • The Office Portfolio will be a central resource in terms of ownership and asset management. • A Council identity will be applied across the Office Portfolio regarding layout, design and equipment.

  10. Space Usage: Principles • The office space will be ‘open-plan’ with no individual offices and shared desk space apart from the Chief Executive and Executive Directors • The best current practice will inform the design of the space • The flexible zones within the Office Portfolio, will be a shared resource.

  11. Design Concepts: Principles • The workplace will be flexible, taking advantage of modern technology, working practices and management • The stacking strategy will predominantly be organised on a Directorate basis. • The Municipal Buildings will be the first point of customer contact • Provision of facilities will be based on a business need, recognising the requirements of the service

  15. KEY ISSUES FOR THE COUNCIL Over the next two years, working together we will need to… • Identify service needs • Change current working practices and culture • Centralise the portfolio management arrangements • Office moves / Meeting Rooms / ICT • Move towards more flexible working • Rationalise the current portfolio • sale / lease termination • Space planning for the new building

  16. Drivers for change • The Councils existing portfolio is in poor condition, inefficient and spread around a multiplicity of sites • Access points for customers can be confusing • The regeneration ambitions for the town centre give an opportunity to make the most of the need to renew our office accommodation • The Councils investment is critical in levering in further public investment and the projected £250m private sector funding

  17. NEXT STEPS • Agree heads of terms for the Council building • Move towards a design and cost that the Council can make a decision on • In parallel rationalise space and start to change working practices • Concentrate customer facing staff in the municipal buildings • Reduce leased property and dispose of surplus stock as it is made available • Fix a design and cost and seek approval to proceed
