34.1      John Marchant stated that there was a great deal of concern about and inconvenience caused by the sudden closure of Oxford Street Housing Office and that the closure of Selsfield Drive Housing Office had compounded the problems.

34.2      The Chair stated that Oxford Street had to be closed at short notice as it had been found that the building posed a structural danger. He had been informed that Bartholomew House could be used by residents temporarily.

34.3      Bob Spacie stated that many were dissatisfied with Bartholomew House as residents could not pay with cash. Furthermore, Lavender Street which was now the closest office took two bus journeys to get to which was too much for vulnerable residents.
