Parts of Hertfordshire County Council could be sold off, leased, or redeveloped, as part of a review of working practices it has emerged.
Under normal circumstances, the Hertford County Hall is used by more than 2,000 council staff every day but during the COVID-19 pandemic, almost all of those staff have been working remotely, from home.
And there is said to be significant support among staff for home-working to continue for two or three days a week – even after the pandemic.
The council has already been looking at increasing remote working – enabling staff to spend more time working from home or at local ‘touchdown’ sites.
