A council-led campaign to oppose the “callous” closure of Clydebank’s JobCentre could be on the cards as West Dunbartonshire councillors condemned plans to shut the branch.
The announcement last week confirming the closure of the office on Kilbowie Road and transfer around 200 staff to JobCentre buildings in neighbouring areas of Glasgow, has been described as a “callous attack” on the area’s most vulnerable from the Tory Government.
During Wednesday’s full council meeting an emergency motion asking the chief executive to write to the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) calling for this decision to be overturned was unanimously approved by members.
