SIR – As someone who passes the old Crown House tax offices in Shipley, which has been empty for a good while, I was pleased to see lots of work being done on the building in recent months and was curious to see who the new occupants would be.

First the outside of the building was painted, then we saw a glass canopy/reception area being built.

I did remark that the money being spent was adding up and whoever had bought it must have a big budget – this must indeed be a prosperous company coming in.

Then as I passed this week, I was a bit surprised to see a council logo on the side of the building! Would some one like to tell us the cost of this project? I would be very interested.
