A council says it would cost about £50m over 10 years to bring the building up to modern standards
County Hall in West Bridgford is said to need about £50m to bring it up to modern standardsAt least part of a council building could be sold amid plans to relocate some of the authority's operations to a new site.
The authority has forecast it would cost about £50m over 10 years to bring the building up to modern standards.Civic buildings in the 19th and 20th centuries were suitably grand architectural statements expressing local pride. There was probably a bit of local rivalry going on too between county and city over who had the most prestigious structure.
Some of the additional offices added on to County Hall over the years have since been demolished. Councils don't need so much space and the pandemic has emphasised that point as more people work from home.
