Jobcentres: Batley
(asked on 22nd June 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, for what reason his Department did not undertake a consultation into the closure of Batley Jobcentre Plus.
This question was answered on 27th June 2017
There was no public consultation on the proposal to close Batley Jobcentre as the proposed move to merge with Dewsbury Jobcentre is approximately 1.9 miles away and 19 minutes by public transport. We committed to a public consultation for offices over three miles and 20 minutes away by public transport.
