Solihull Council has teamed up with Third Space Solutions to transform the vacant first floor of Dickens Heath Library into a flexible new workspace.
The new space provides those living in the village with access to a paid-for accessible and professional place to work from, offering bookable desks, collaborative working booths and even soundproof pods for video conferencing and private calls.
The idea behind the ‘Dickens Heath Work Hub’ is to look at how car journeys might be reduced while responding to changing work patterns and the huge increase in hybrid working we have seen post-pandemic. This brings a facility that people need to access on a daily basis, to within a short walk or bike ride from their home.
Councillor Ken Hawkins says;
All homes in the village will have received a leaflet outlining the project. Please feel free to pop along to the library to see how it is designed. The Hub is open Monday to Friday 9am-5pm and will be a great asset to the village.
