Andover Town Council is to investigate the future of its offices in the town centre. The council is looking into a range of options, including serviced office space in the town centre or at Test Valley Borough Council’s (TVBC) offices, occupying a shopfront in the high street or becoming fully remote. Officers had prepared a report into some of these options, but have now been instructed by councillors to investigate further possibilities ahead of a decision that needs to be made before October. At present, Andover Town Council occupies offices just off the High Street, which were closed in March 2020 due to the Covid pandemic.
Markets are a place where you can get everything. Be it fresh produce or homemade goods, there’s a little bit of something for everyone. But in future, you could also get a dash of town politics at the market, as Andover Town Council considers plans to operate a ‘councillor surgery’. Members of the council would be available to talk to in their gazebo, whether that’s to answer questions, complaints or anything else the public wants to know. The plans are currently being formulated, and will be brought to full council for approval in future. The initial plan for the council to have a presence at markets was raised previously, and has been delayed due to the Covid pandemic. It was raised again at a meeting of the Assets & Communities Committee at their meeting on Tuesday, April 13.
