Staff working for Bristol City Council will be moved out of a huge office building later this year in a bid to save millions. The council will relocate most of its staff currently working at 100 Temple Street, a five-storey office building it bought a decade ago for £18 million.
It’s unclear what will happen to the building after council staff leave, but the offices could be sold off or leased out. Some council teams will remain in the building, including the Citizen Service Point and the Operations Centre, while others will be relocated to City Hall.
The council owns many buildings across Bristol but is planning to sell some of them, to cut costs amid huge pressure on its budget. This year, the council could raise £36 million from these sales, and save £3.5 million from spending on bills such as heating or electricity.
