Labour Councillor Ralph Cook did call for it to close - but that call was dismissed by the adminstration. I know that the council advice centre in Marland House is due to move into the building. Maybe that's why they're moving stuff around.
As for money "being that short" - the cuts Welsh councils have had to implement are miniscule compared to what's happened in England. It's their dogmatic refusal to look at different ways of operating that's causing them problems.
