History
Originally meetings of Londonderry County Council were held at the Coleraine Courthouse.[1][2] The new building, which was designed by Smyth, Cowser and Partners, was competed in 1970.[3] After the county council was abolished in 1973, it became the regional office of several government departments.[4][5] In March 2014 about 300 jobs associated with Northern Ireland's Driver and Vehicle Agency were transferred from County Hall to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency in Swansea.[6]
