South Lanarkshire Council’s headquarters is currently closed to all staff and visitors to allow for two weeks of essential maintenance.
Electrical equipment at the neighbouring Almada Street substation is being replaced by Scottish Power Energy Networks (SPEN), with the work meaning that the main switchboard at County Buildings also needs to be replaced.
The replacement project began on Monday, with all 800 staff and councillors based at the landmark 17-storey building currently working from home or other locations until its scheduled reopening on July 24.
