Yesterday the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) officially moved its Jobcentre Plus service from Broadway into the south wing of the Town Hall building in Bridge Street.
The job centre will continue to provide the same functions as before, but will be easier for residents to access, positioned just along the same street as our own council offices and the recently opened Cross Keys Customer Central.
Unfortunately a Combined Authority meeting meant I couldn’t attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony myself, but my colleagues Cllr David Seaton and Gillian Beasley were there to officially open this building to the public.
By renting out parts of the Town Hall and Sand Martin House to our partner organisations, we have been able to consolidate our office stock to become the anchor tenant on the new Fletton Quays site.
