Office design news from Morgan Lovell

Published on 29-04-2010

West Dorset District Council recently held a poll of local residents to understand whether the public supported its plans to move to new office space at a cost of £10.7 million.

Despite the fact the poll came back saying the majority were against the idea, the council has said it will continue with its office relocation plans regardless.

District council chief executive David Clarke said: "The planning application for the Charles Street site will be submitted soon. I would invite everyone to study the plans and give their views on the planning merits."

Elsewhere, the Kidderminster Shuttle recently reported that Wyre Forest District Council is preparing to announce the project management and design team for the refurbishment of its new offices.

In total, the project is set to cost £10.5 million and the main contractor for the development is to be decided upon by the council by the end of next month.
