Two councils are sharing an office to save money.

County Hall will pay Braintree Council £300,000 a year for 15 years - or £4.5million in total - to lease the second floor and share the ground floor reception and car park.
Almost 200 ECC staff now share office space with about 270 Braintree Council workers.
Another 50 from Tekhnicon House in Springwood Drive are due to move over by March next year
