As result of foundation work on new shopping centre, buildings within quarter mile radius found to have structural defects. Council decides to bulldoze whole area and spend £300m on 56-storey replacement for Staffold Place and Riverslide offices.
A smug spokesperson said: "We have known for some time that the civic centre was likely to collapse and had planned accordingly by frontloading a robust strategy incorporating robust robustness in such a way that taxpayers are unaware of being robustly fleeced. Figures on the back of an envelope show that this exciting project will have saved us more than £1,267,956 per month by 2188, once more demonstrating that we are fantastic. You plebs are lucky we let you live in Stafford, he added, while eating his beluga caviar sandwich".
