We start demolishing the Reprographics area. The problem we have is that we can't go too deep as we still don't have the asbestos report. However, we can do things like removal and storage of the window blinds which are new. We want to retain the data network, the electric cabling and the heating system. These are all new and spin out from the refurbishment of the rest of the building.

We work with Simon to make sure that we retain features and that demolition is not too drastic.

In the meantime, i'm trying to get stuck into the ICT elements of my new role. Loads of new stuff to fill my head - new version of MS Office to be rolled out; new contract terms to be ironed out; new links with other councils to be checked and explored; how to handle the connection of private devices to the council's network; etc. Loads of fun and game sto come!
