A jobcentre serving east Manchester is to close within the next year and move into a new £22 million pound 'community hub' less than a mile away it has been announced.
The new 'Gorton Hub' which is currently under construction and is due to open this Autumn, is aiming to become a "one-stop-shop" for public services locals may need.
The building on Hyde Road in the centre of Gorton will see a new council-run library, a GP practice, pharmacy, health and social care services and housing offices all brought under one roof.
