Abbey House stands in the heart of the historic town of Abingdon-on-Thames. This three-storey building was built in the early 1990s as the head quarters of the Vale of White Horse District Council. The ground floor is occupied by the Vale of the White Horse DC and South Oxfordshire DC (whose main office will soon be at the Didcot Gateway site near Didcot Parkway Station). The ground floor also houses the Citizens Advice Bureau.
The first and second floors are being transformed into state-of-the-art office spaces that can be divided into self contained offices starting from 4,000 sq ft.
“Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”; that’s what the great and the good tell us to do.
Why is the council not using this perfectly good office space….and building a brand new shiny carbon footed office space in Didcot.
….and there I am rinsing my hummus pots. All seems rather futile.
OCC selling the family silver.
OCC don’t own the building, it’s shown as leasehold on OCC list of assets.
