WAVERLEY Borough Council has denied it is relocating from its Godalming HQ after a report suggested the contrary last week.

Its executive committee was told the delivery of a new £32,000 lighting project would be “subject to receiving greater clarity about the council’s intention to move from The Burys as its administrative base”.

But a council spokesman apologised for the “misleading” wording of the report and confirmed WBC has no intention of moving.

“The council periodically reviews the use of all of the buildings within its ownership to ensure good value is being achieved,” he said. “The offices are over 35 years old so the cost effectiveness of any capital spending on this building is always considered.

“While there are no plans to relocate, the council needs to be certain it gets the financial benefit from every investment.”
