Sitting around tapping a keyboard at 11deg C?
I wouldn`t fancy it.

I would take the “work in another building” option I expect.
Doesn`t much matter how many layers I wear my fingers and toes get cold in anything less than “Ahhh Nice” deg Celsius.
Work harder…
Get going with the licence renewal applications for starters.
It’s time that monstrosity is demolished anyway. Ent the jobs to England.
So temperatures can’t drop below 16 in an office.
In that case a lot of offices should be shut down as sure been in places colder.
One to maybe near in mind for anyone that goes to an RDC take a thermometer and if below 16 refuse to wait there
Anyway read to bottom of article it says
Clearly there is no law to working temperatures it’s just guidance not law
What is the law on office temperature?
UK government guidance states workplaces should be kept to a minimum of 16C, or 13C (55F) where physical work is done.
But there is no law for minimum or maximum temperature.
However, employers must stick to health and safety and work law, which includes keeping the temperature at a “comfortable level” and providing “clean and fresh air”.
Karma for causing unnecessary delays:)
They will probably want to work from home again. I guess more delays:(
They should move the DVLA up north, we don’t even need to put a jumper on 
Those who are familiar with The Toon on a Sarraday neet will know these girls here are wearing far more than the rest of the lasses oot on the hoy 
It’ll be a lot hotter than 11 degrees when they reach their final destination after they shuffle off having wilfully ruined many lives with their bone idleness and contempt for people.

We will await the m with hot pokers at the ready…
I’m not normally ashamed of choosing to live in Wales, but that lot push it…
When a load is delayed, and arrives late at a warehouse, it is always the fault of the final delivery driver, and he deserves to get all the blame, and is lucky if he doesnt get a kicking. Similarly, any and all delays to anyones licence is purely the fault of computer tappers and help line operators, so they deserve to get slagged off mercilessly.
There have been faults and delays at DVLA.
How many are the fault of the lowest graded workers? How many are due to bad management?
I don`t know.
Anyone care to explain to me please why complaining about poor working conditions, is something that we as drivers admire in some groups, but hate in other groups?
If the DVLA unions are standing up for their members, what is so wrong?

Oh that’s easy, because they’re stealing our quotient of complaining, our industry has the monopoly on that, didn’t you know
It’s the same with oil/fuel/road related protests: the JSO nutters are deemed in need of immediate termination, “Crucifixion’s too good for them” as Monty Python said, but a bunch of HGVs doing a rolling-road-block of a major transport artery, is the work of heroes.
Sarcasm aside for a moment, I just think DVLA have used up any goodwill they might have had before we’d seen the “hidden camera” documentaries (did Panorama do one?). They’re all out of credit, so their application for sympathy/empathy has been rejected, just as our applications would be if we’d filled out our forms incorrectly.

With you on that one. Given that there are so many skiving, though, why is it that every office in the place seems to be lit up all night every night? I know there’s an old joke about the lights being on and nobody home, but it irks me that they have to prove it.
I wonder why there is such guidance for office workers but not these working in factories, warehouses and these being made to pull back curtains in gale force winds?

Who said it is just office workers?
“The law does not state a minimum or maximum temperature, but the temperature in workrooms should normally be at least:
16°C or
13°C if much of the work involves rigorous physical effort”
