City Council to debate changes to Loxley House working practices
Nottingham City Council may move more of its departments into Loxley House, it has emerged.
The Council’s Executive Board will sit tomorrpw (16 October) to discuss a document that proposes changes to improve the efficiency of the building.
The document, entiteld Loxley House Work Place and Hub Phase 2, says it will look at “agile working methodologies” and outlines how these could release space within the building that could be shared with others under a license agreement that the Council says may bring in additional revenue.
The proposals include Nottingham Revenues and Benefits (NRB) and Housing Aid relocating to Loxley House, along with colleagues based at other sites such as Henry Whipple. Nottingham Revenues and Benefits is currently co-located with the Central Library on Angel Row and there is currently a consultation taking place to determine the location of a new Central Library, with the new Broadmarsh bus station and car park the favoured venue.
A project team to implement the moves has already been formed and both relocations are expected to be completed by the end of 2019.
The document also outlines plans to reduce the numbers of desks in Loxley House to ease a sense of overcrowding and create over 20 alternative working and collaboration spaces that would have a capacity of around 300 people.
