Relocation of Young Adults Services from 48 Station Road Additional documents: Minutes: This report sought approval for the procurement and tender of the works for the proposed relocation of the Young Adult Services team currently located at 48 Station Road to Clarendon Road College building N8, an existing operational building that became vacant in September 2025 when the previous operational Service moved to the Roger Sylvester Centre, Canning Crescent
The proposal was for the team to be relocated to the ground floor of the Clarendon Road College building as the first floor is to be occupied by the Parking and Civil Enforcement team. There were 60 members of staff in the Young Adults Services team and 6 additional staff (to be recruited to post April).
Colleagues in Young Adult Services had been consulted and had inputted into the redesign and reconfiguration of the ground floor of the Clarendon Road College building. The relocation of Young Adult Services to the ground floor of the Clarendon Road College building would provide appropriate accommodation for the service.
The relocation of Young Adult Services to the ground floor of the Clarendon Road College building will ensure vacant possession of 48 Station Road and alignment with the Councils Shaping Wood Green Strategy as the other services in occupation would be moving to the Civic Centre.
The Cabinet Member had held a number of discussions prior to the signings including with the Finance team so that assurances could be sought regarding the prudent nature for the Council to save money on buildings as it consolidated the working nature of the Council’s staff. The Cabinet Member was satisfied that the Finance team were felt content with the progress and felt that the process outlined in the report was the best proposal for the foreseeable future.
The Cabinet Member RESOLVED

To ensure maximisation of vacant space within the Clarendon Road College building, the first floor was to be occupied by the Parking and Civil Enforcement team as this would ensure vacant possession of River Park House and alignment with the Council’s Shaping Wood Green Strategy. This has been the subject of a separate Full Business case (see Appendix 1) that was presented at Strategic Asset Management Board on the 21st August and Strategic Capital Board on ... view the full minutes text for item 6. |
