A council that spent more than £111m on a new
headquarters is considering moving out after just three years.
Newham Council bought Building 1000 for £92m in 2010 and spent a further
£18.7m on a refurbishment. Designer light fittings alone cost £1,853 each.
Now it is understood that the council is unable to sell the old
buildings it vacated and is considering moving back.
This is incredible Newham council spent £111m on a new office to bring
all their services under one roof, but now they can’t shift the 26 different buildings
they previously occupied.
The move was designed to save money but now they’re paying for 26
buildings they’re not using, saving a fortune I’m sure, what an example of
grand scale incompetence.
If Newham council decides to move back into the 26 buildings then all
you’re left with is an empty £111m building that's been in use for less than three years, I’m sure the residents of Newham
are thrilled at having at council that sets such a great example to other councils nationwide of what not to
do.
