JobCentres closing

JobCentre closures

The Government have had a programme of Jobcentre closures - now they have been forced to review it in the light of the current high levels of employment.

Liberal Democrat work and pensions spokeswoman Jenny Willott said: "The Government is finally accepting that it is crazy to carry on closing JobCentres when 1,500 people are losing their job every day.

"More than 40 JobCentres were closed last year, while the backlog in outstanding Jobseekers Allowance applications has more than doubled.

"The Government must do more than review the JobCentre closure programme.

"They must stop it altogether and recruit more staff so newly unemployed people get the support they need, when they need it."
