FLAGSHIP council offices at Gateway Plaza are hidden behind scaffolding to allow repairs to a defect in the façade of the building.
Water is getting in to the offices, which the council bought for £21m four years ago, but a council spokesman said the repairs were being covered as part of the original developer's warranty.
"The contractor is making good defects to the external façade of the offices at Gateway Plaza under the terms of the original building contract, on behalf of the Headcrown Group plc.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
