Background:

• Following interviews with the Executive Directors, space planning consultants have carried out an analysis of the Council’s future accommodation requirements.

• CELG have agreed a set of high level principles, which will provide the framework for how we will work both now, and within the new office portfolio.

• The Office Portfolio is defined as any building owned, leased or occupied by Council staff as an office base, either exclusively or on a shared basis.

Page 9: Talbot Gateway

Centralisation of Resources:

• ICT provision will be a central resource

• Meeting Rooms and Conference Facilities will be shared.

• The Office Portfolio will be a central resource in terms of ownership and asset management.

• A Council identity will be applied across the Office Portfolio regarding layout, design and equipment.

Principles

Page 10: Talbot Gateway

Space Usage:

• The office space will be ‘open-plan’ with no individual offices and shared desk space apart from the Chief Executive and Executive Directors

• The best current practice will inform the design of the space

• The flexible zones within the Office Portfolio, will be a shared resource.

Principles

Page 11: Talbot Gateway

Design Concepts:• The workplace will be flexible, taking advantage of

modern technology, working practices and management

• The stacking strategy will predominantly be organised on a Directorate basis.

• The Municipal Buildings will be the first point of customer contact

• Provision of facilities will be based on a business need, recognising the requirements of the service

KEY ISSUES FOR THE COUNCIL Over the next two years, working together we will need to…

• Identify service needs

• Change current working practices and culture

• Centralise the portfolio management arrangements– Office moves / Meeting Rooms / ICT

• Move towards more flexible working

• Rationalise the current portfolio – sale / lease termination

• Space planning for the new building

Page 16: Talbot Gateway

Drivers for change

• The Councils existing portfolio is in poor condition, inefficient and spread around a multiplicity of sites

• Access points for customers can be confusing• The regeneration ambitions for the town centre give

an opportunity to make the most of the need to renew our office accommodation

• The Councils investment is critical in levering in further public investment and the projected £250m private sector funding

Page 17: Talbot Gateway

NEXT STEPS

• Agree heads of terms for the Council building• Move towards a design and cost that the Council can

make a decision on• In parallel rationalise space and start to change

working practices• Concentrate customer facing staff in the municipal

buildings• Reduce leased property and dispose of surplus stock

as it is made available• Fix a design and cost and seek approval to proceed
