Nottinghamshire County Council has announced it will close eight of its offices during peak holiday periods
in a bid to save energy and running costs. Eight offices will close in total between Tuesday, December 20 until Tuesday, January 3 and a two-week closure over Easter, with the dates to be confirmed.
Officials from the authority have said council services will continue as normal during these periods and residents will not be affected. Councillor Keith Girling, cabinet member for economic development, said: “Most of our corporate offices have low occupancy during Christmas and Easter holiday periods as staff are more likely to take holiday at these times.
Savings from the closures mainly cover energy bills, in addition to running costs such as cleaning and rubbish collection. Corporate buildings will remain open where there is an operational need for staff to have access or where the council has a lease arrangement with partners. Residents who have existing appointments with council staff in December won’t be affected by these closures.
