Councillors discuss future of Bodlondeb
The latest report about the disposal of Bodlondeb offices was presented to Finance & Resources Scrutiny Committee last week and will go before Cabinet on 13/08/24.
Last year, Conwy County Borough Council decided to look into the feasibility of downsizing to just one main office building (Coed Pella only).
As part of this work, the Council invited expressions of interest for the Bodlondeb office in March, followed by an invitation to tender in May.
The results are now being reported to councillors, who will decide whether to approve the one-office approach and select a preferred bidder for the Bodlondeb building.
Council Leader, Cllr Charlie McCoubrey, said: “We engaged with the market to look for a sustainable opportunity for the site and for the town of Conwy. We have a duty to make sure we make the right decision.
“It’s essential that we reduce our revenue costs, optimise the use of our assets, reduce our carbon emissions, avoid significant repair & maintenance costs, and create an opportunity for economic development.”
“Councillors will need to consider the information carefully and agree on the next steps.”
If the report and recommendations are approved, it’s likely a preferred bidder will be formally announced towards the end of August once necessary legal processes have been completed.
