I NOTE with interest a recent letter in the Echo decrying the Civic Centre as “not fit for purpose” and “inconvenient for the people who live in Poole”. I very much doubt any resident of Poole will find it more convenient when the council is based in the centre of Bournemouth as it no doubt will be from next year

This of course makes it all the more remarkable that Poole’s Tory cabinet have decided to waste £153,000 of council taxpayers’ money on a building that has less than two years life left and indeed is zoned in the local plan for housing
