James Evans MS has hit out at shocking new figures revealing that only 12% of Welsh Government employees are working from their office space in Llandrindod Wells.
The Welsh Government leases most of the ground floor at County Hall, Llandrindod Wells, a massive floor space now only utilised by 13 staff. The initial refurbishment costs in 2020 were reported to be circa £1 million!
James Evans MS said:
“To learn that attendance figures at Welsh Government’s Llandrindod Wells office are just 12% is disgraceful. Public money is being wasted on this vast office space that is barely being used.
“This is public money, and taxpayers have a right to know how their money is being spent. Welsh Labour created this problem with their lax attitude to taxpayers’ money and poor leadership on this issue. I await the findings of the review into the Powys offices, due to be published in September.
“The Welsh Conservatives have pledged to end unnecessary remote working and get people off their settees and back into their offices if we enter government next May.”
