Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what representations her Department has received on the effect of the closure of Norris Green Jobcentre Plus office on the local community.

In the 6 months prior to the closure, approximately 11 representations were received, mainly in the form of Ministerial correspondence. However, since the merger of staff and services from Norris Green Jobcentre into West Derby and Everton North Jobcentres in September 2017, there have been no representations received. An outreach arrangement in the community is in place within Norris Green Library, in addition to the full range of services available at the Jobcentre Plus offices at West Derby and Everton North.
