Isn't the trend that has meant the current Civic Centre is only 2/5ths used likely to continue? More council transactions are done online and more council services are contracted out so staffing in a centralised location will fall further. Shouldn't the opportunity be taken now to devolve some services into different parts of the borough particularly the ones relating to the elderly and the disabled. The journey out to Hounslow from Chiswick is a lengthy and tricky one but there is an underutilised town hall on Heathfield Terrace where people could go when a face to face transaction is necessary or they are unable to get online. |
