Wakefield Council to close Grade I-listed County Hall offices due to heating costs

“By reducing energy usage, we are able to cut our fuel bills, which will support us to maintain important services that our residents rely on, at a time of severe financial pressures.

The majority of Council services based at County Hall will be relocated to Wakefield Town Hall and the Wakefield One building nearby. Coun Byford added: “There are exceptionally difficult times ahead and demand for many of our services has never been higher.“But please be reassured that we are doing all we can to minimise the impact of the financial crisis and will continue to support those most in need.”
