One Stop Shop!!! http://tinyurl.com/5va53ha in Shepton Mallet. So THAT's where our Council Tax is going! "On Monday Mendip's cabinet meets to agree a capital investment of £3 million, which includes £200,000 investment for new IT, so the scheme can proceed. Ms Nolan said the existing council offices, opened in the 1980s, are in dire need of improvement work and upgrading." WHAT a load of ******* grrrr

Reading through the documents going to Cabinet - here - http://tinyurl.com/6jb43oe​ommitteeMeeting.asp?id=SX9​452-A7836401 it is clear that the press release saying "the existing council offices, opened in the 1980s, are in dire need of improvement work and upgrading" is a total exaggeration when condition surveys say they are fine. And sharing offices with other agencies does not 'require' that £2.68 mill is spent. Cutting public services then spending on internal costs is a cruel decision. DTZ have obviously been appointed to prove it is a great idea.

Well reading the article from the first comment on 'this is somerset,' I don't really see the big problem you have? I think investing in a new structure of working to perhaps better the mentality of employees could improve on their commitment and work production. It works for Google offices it even works for Frome's very own 'Forward Space.' On top of this isn't 300 new jobs a great thing for the economy of the area anyway? The 3 million pounds possibly spent will have a worthwhile long term interest.
