PCS members in DVLA take network wide action to save jobs and prevent office closuresIn response to the government’s plans to close DVLA's 39 local and enforcement offices around the UK, putting 1,200 jobs at risk, PCS members are taking part in a campaign to save their jobs and to preserve the provision of important services locally across DVLA’s network of offices in England, Wales and Scotland.
At present the future of the offices are subject to a public consultation, with DVLA’s preference being that all offices close, and the services are centralised, put on line or provided by third part intermediaries.
Commenting Dave Cliff, PCS DVLA National Officer said, "As the consultation proceeds, it is clear that the proposals for replacing local offices are based on what DVLA would like to be able to provide its customers, not what service DVLA is going to be able to provide its customers. PCS believes that many of the proposed replacement services represent a retrograde step to the service currently provided by the existing offices.”
As part of the campaign, there will be lunchtime demonstrations, on Tuesday 14th February, held between 12:30 and 13:30, at every DVLA local office. We would really welcome your support at this, your local DVLA demonstration will be held at: Preston AEC, Fulwood Park, Caxton Road, Fulwood, Preston, PR2 9NZ
