Stirling DWP office set for axe as ministers urged to change tack over job fears

Ministers have been urged to reverse a decision to shut the doors on Stirling’s Jobcentre as part of a raft of DWP office closures.

The Stirling site, located on St Ninians Road, is one of 42 DWP offices set to be axed by June 2023 under the plans unveiled by the UK Government, with staff being offered the opportunity to work at an alternative location.

The PCS union, which represents public sector workers, says the plans will affect more than 500 jobs across Scotland, with an online meeting of all of its members set up on the issue for March 25.
