If your council needs some reassurance to support your move from aspiration to implementation – come and see for yourself… BACKGROUND: The Mindset Behind Westgate Plaza One In planning the Westgate Plaza One development the council aspired to create something that would be a flagship project within the ‘Remaking Barnsley’ programme, which would support staff to work effectively and which would represent excellent value for money for the citizens of Barnsley.

Opened on 18 May 2007 by the Rt Hon David Milliband MP, Westgate Plaza One is proving 25% more energy efficient than existing older office buildings, incorporating many innovative features to make the building comfortable to work in and designed to support a flexible workforce, whether in or out of the office.
