Reasons Behind The Peterborough Office Move


"The relocation of five government services to Fletton Quays will not only modernise the way we work, but will also make sure that we are taking advantage of purpose-built facilities to meet our operational and customer needs," said the government in a statement.

The department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs will be making the move to the Fletton Quays site, alongside the passport office and several other government agencies. The relocation offers the ability to design a workspace that is tailored to the different needs of each department.

This £120 million regeneration of the South Bank of the River Nene is expected to streamline government operations while giving staff the ability to create spaces that are better configured to meet their exact requirements.

The government's statement on Fletton Quays highlighted their belief that these new facilities will "offer purpose-built settings, enabling us to design a space that meets our operational and customer requirements."

The relocation of five government services to Fletton Quays has been three years in the making and is expected to give staff the ability to take advantage of purpose-built facilities that are perfectly suited for their operational and customer needs.

The move has been supported by the government, who noted that the new buildings will "allow us to modernise the way we work as well as improving our efficiency and effectiveness." They also underlined their hope that this could potentially make some government operations more streamlined.
