The Branch has been in correspondence with the local MPs
regarding the closure of the majority of the DWP Norcross Site. We have also
met several of the local MPs and one of the local Council Leaders since the
premature announcement in June 2012 that the DWP Norcross site was to close.
The following is an extract from a letter from the
Employment Minister Mark Hoban MP dated 10th December 2012;
“In terms of travel time and the DWP Mobility rules, I am
sure you will agree that the provision of a direct public transport route will
reduce travelling time. In addition, for those staff that are still outside the
DWP Mobility rules and are unable to move, our aim will be to seek redeployment
opportunities within their mobility status, this may include other Government
Departments.”
