The subsequent relocation of staff may require a key decision before the building is vacated in December 2010.
As it has now been confirmed that no members of staff will have their terms and conditions of employment altered as a result of the closure of these offices then there is not a need for decision to be taken by the Cabinet Member. Consultations with individual and groups of staff about their relocation to specific office sites will be ongoing and there will be continuing reports as appropriate to the Corporate Policy Overview and Scrutiny Committee as part of the wider Better Work Places programme.
