IT MAY have escaped our council leader's notice but the private business sector have successfully run with, in some cases, countrywide offices, even more so in this electronic age.

Yet our money is to be spent as Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch cannot communicate with each other over such a vast distance?

This expenditure is partially blamed on under occupation of each building, so perhaps you could all move into one existing building, with an extension you could give yourselves planning permission for, or employ more staff using the 29 million to ensure you deliver the services that are so lacking in our community schools, social care etc.

And with the use of emails etc you may find the locality of the existing offices is no longer a problem.
