If a “prestigious” Skypark HQ for all  500 fte EDDC staff was going to cost £8 million and an HQ at Honiton and an outpost in Exmouth is going to cost at least £10 million for half that number of staff, just how “prestigious” is the new HQ going to be – gold plated?

And if half the staff will be going and the “expensive to maintain” Knowle is flogged off along with most services being digitised and/or privatised plus all that lovely income from developers putting in their big planning applications – will we be getting a council tax reduction of at least 50%?
