A Leeds city centre Jobcentre is going to close down for good, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has announced to MPs.
The Eastgate Jobcentre, near the Headrow, will close as part of nine other closures across the country. The DWP told MPs, the centres will merge into nearby DWP offices.
The newer site is in Park Place and is 0.9 miles from the existing Eastgate office. The other Jobcentres to shut are Gravesend The Grove, Leicester New Walk, Oldham Phoenix House, Walsall Bayard House, Dalston and Wolverhampton, reports The Mirror.
