Jobcentres across the country are shutting as part of a Government shake-up. The Department for Work and Pensions has issued a list of sites that will close in a move it says will aid efforts to "improve services and help more people into employment".
Nine Jobcentres will shut in total, along with a 10th site that deals with national insurance numbers. According to an announcement made to MPs, the centres will merge into nearby DWP offices, The Mirror reports.
The DWP has emphasised that many of the new locations will be as little as 0.1 miles from the existing offices. But Sutton Coldfield Jobcentre's services are moving over three miles away, and Wembley's alternative will be 2.5 miles away.
