A DECISION on whether Scarborough Council's offices in Whitby's Skinner Street should be moved has been postponed.
Scarborough Council extended the deadline for the consultation by a few weeks to allow for people to have their say.
The deadline should have been 4 April but Janet Deacon, Scarborough Council’s customer services manager, said: “Due to the volume of responses we were receiving from the public, it was requested that we extend the consultation period beyond the original closing date.
“It is for this reason that the report to Cabinet was put back by a month and will now be discussed when on 27 May.”
The council want to move its Whitby office to the Tourist Information Centre on Langborne Road.
The council extended the deadline by a couple of weeks to allow it to receive all the feedback submitted.
Scarborough Council bought the offices for £125,000 in 2001 and have spent £327,000 on it in that time. If it sold the building, it would be marketed at £350,000.
