City Hall reopens

City Hall has reopened and police cordons on the roads surrounding it have been lifted.

The building was evacuated as a precaution on Wednesday after a report of malicious communications. Council officers have continued to work closely with the police throughout the day.

While there has inevitably been some disruption for our residents and customers for which we would like to apologise, staff have been working hard to minimise this and to make sure that wherever possible services could continue to operate as normal.

We would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding.
