The COVID-19 lockdown has forced us to decentralise work: Let’s not go back

For many years now, I have been thinking about an alternative to working from home which could bring many workers out of crowded cities, would benefit workers and, I believe, local economies while at the same time avoiding many, if not all, of the issues found with working from home. ‘Satellite’ offices, located in smaller towns and villages could be a neat way of combating at least some of the issues with working from home while keeping many of the positives of remote working and at the same time providing a much-needed boost to run-down town centres.
