The borough council would move to a new
HQ▸ in the Portland Street car park.
Traffic blocked from Boots corner would have to go around the inner ring road to get from the old Habitat shop to Albion Street.
The council has put the plans on display at six Cheltenham venues, as well as installing a permanent display at its offices in the Prom.
It has received 40 written responses so far, most of them positive.
The consultation continues into the middle of this month.
There's a display today at Up Hatherley Village Hall from 6.30pm.
