The local district councils for the three towns of Bewdley, Kidderminster & Stourport-on-Severn were amalgamated into one Council, following local government reform in 1974. As a result, the new council, called Wyre Forest District Council, has been operating out of dispersed offices since then. The current administration decided some time ago that it would be more efficient to have all staff on one site. The result is this building, the construction of which is now well underway. It is claimed to be a state of the art design, and very green in energy consumption. It should be said that the decision to go ahead with new offices in the present economic climate, has been fiercely controversial, but this is not the place to discuss that.
