Office survey results
Article Abstract:
The level of crime in offices in Nottingham, England, reached almost 40% of those questioned whilst companies in Leicester, England reported crime levels of 33%. Some 100 commercial leaseholders were questioned in a study of several aspects of conditions in Nottingham and Leicester in the East Midlands, England. More than 60% of companies were happy with the standard of the local workforce, with 18% of companies using remote working practices. Businesses in Leicester felt that Nottingham represented the most competition and both locations saw Birmingham as a possible threat.

The 'new' Valuation Office Agency
Article Abstract:
The future of the UK's Valuation Office (VO) is uncertain due to its shrinking workload and uncertainties about is continuing role in the public sector. The VO's tasks include council tax banding; work for the Inland Revenue; work for other public bodies and government departments; non-domestic rating; and its Crown property rating unit. The VO has already had to implement some restructuring measures, due to its falling workload and the fact that the VO is no longer guaranteed work but must tender for valuation work from public bodies and government departments.

Ringing the changes for office security
Article Abstract:
There are many elements which can be incorporated into an office design to help improve safety, and technological advances mean that landlords can offer a growing range of security measures. Buildings should not contain a labyrinth of routes, but a few clear routes to allow for 'self-surveillance'. Good lighting and atria which allow observation of a wide area are also useful design features. Other common security measures within offices include closed circuit TV cameras, security patrols and access control systems such as magnetic cards or computerised systems.
