'Covid has seen an acceleration of changes to traditional working environments.'
Council offices in Thornliebank are set to be vacated amid plans to give up the lease and instead improve the local authority’s Eastwood headquarters.
Estimated savings per year for staying at Spiersbridge and closing the Eastwood building were under £200,000. The council’s chief executive Lorraine McMillan said these figures are “for the cost of running the buildings over 20 years, but the actual reason for doing this is to get savings compared to the status quo.”
A council report added the current Eastwood building is “not suitable” for modern hybrid working and investment would be needed to “create an open plan modern environment”. Officials previously “thought that the construction type of headquarters was such that it would make renovations financially prohibitive”.
