RESOLVED that:

 

1.      The Head of Property and Asset Management be provided with a remit:

a.      to engage in dialogue with owners or agents of suitable town centre office buildings

b.      to explore in more detail the feasibility of relocating to a suitable town centre alternative.

c.      To consider the option of reducing the space taken up by Cheltenham Borough Council (CBC) in the Municipal Offices by exploring vertical separation of the Municipal Offices.

d.      To explore the possibility of CBC building on the back of the current Municipal Offices

  1. It be noted that all the details in the exempt appendix are purely indicative so can give no preferred option at this stage

  2. Any future CBC offices will remain in the town centre

  3. Any move out of the current offices will only happen if it saves money

  4. CBC will not move out to its own purpose-built office

  5. A report be brought back to Cabinet in 12 – 18 months upon the conclusion of the review.
