Worcestershire County Hall closed since June due to Legionella, RAAC safety concerns; future uncertain, possible sale to hospital or repurposing for housing.

Worcestershire County Hall has been closed since June due to legionella bacteria and safety concerns regarding reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC). The future of the building is uncertain, with councillors advocating for public transparency in decision-making. Options under consideration include selling the building to a nearby hospital or repurposing it for housing. An investigation is estimated to cost up to £1.85 million, while staff continue to work from home.
