Where will I be working by 2017?

As a result of the latest news about the proposed new Council offices in Colindale, staff have been asking “Where will I be working by 2017 and who for?”

The latest staffing figures for the move to Building 2 & Barnet House are 1880 staff. This figure includes partner organisations such as NHS, *CSG and Re.

The current staff are working in 284,000 sq ft

Phase One

To move the above staff into 114,754 sq ft (Barnet House 70,000 sq ft & Building 2 44,754 sq ft) with exception of * CSG staff.

Phase Two

To move remaining staff to new building at Colindale 90,000 sq ft

(* CSG staff are being relocated to and area within Barnet and the likely move date will be during September. Revs and Bens team will remain at Barnet House)

The current plan is to reduce the office space in 2017 by approximately 68% which leaves the question “where do all the staff go? “

Using the figures above it would mean only 602 of the 1880 staff would move to Colindale.

This issue has an impact on our members working across Barnet Council, CSG & Re it is important that members attend the following meeting:
