The programme is expected to bring together the Council's staff in these centralised offices, improving efficiency and delivery of services and promoting more flexible and modern ways of working.

In opposition, the Conservatives in the London Borough of Bexley had been fiercely opposed to the proposed Thames Gateway Bridge development.
This opposition continued once Clement was Leader and included him calling for a reopening of the public inquiry into the bridge, and discussion with the then Local Government Secretary, Ruth Kelly.
In October 2006, Clement was appointed to the Executive of London Councils as leading member of the Crime and Public Protection Portfolio.
In this role, Clement led in overseeing strategy and policy initiatives to help the London Boroughs "build safer and stronger communities".
It emerged that Clement used the card to buy business class travel on two long-haul British Airways flights to China for the Beijing Olympics, only weeks after the Mayor insisted he was going to fly economy.
Clement broke GLA rules by using his card for "private expenditure" totalling £2,300, including more than £200 on groceries at Tesco and a £535.49 audio system for his Jaguar car, which he then repaid.
Clement was summoned in front of the Greater London Authority audit committee to explain himself, and faced pressure to resign or for Johnson to sack him after full details of his spending are revealed.
