I read in the paper today that the city has been offered a long term lease of space in the Bell Building. It would be significantly cheaper than renovating City Hall.

Perhaps they could go there for a bit while another City Hall is built. My personal recommendation is Queens and Talbot (just a parking lot there now) or somewhere on Dundas as the city always wants lasting development on that street.

I actually agree with building a new city hall. Many Ontario cities have recently built a new city hall and the fact that London's is old, cramped and in need of renovation strengthens this idea.

Besides, I hate that structure. I can't believe the heritage committee actually wants to preserve it as a historical building!
