Coventry Tile Hill Jobcentre is currently 42% underutilised therefore significant savings can be made by merging and maximising space at Coventry Cofa Court Jobcentre. It is better value for money to merge two jobcentres in close proximity, creating bigger and multi-skilled teams.
Additionally the IT infrastructure is already in place and the Cofa Court office can import staff and services from Tile Hill, making best use of taxpayers money.
