Stunell Slams Closure of Marple Jobcentre

June 20, 2005 6:30 PM

Hazel Grove MP, Andrew Stunell has attacked plans to close Marple Jobcentre at the end of July and replace it with a call centre based in Marple library.

Andrew Stunell MP said:

"The plans to cut back help for job hunters at Marple Jobcentre leaving them to use library computer terminals and a telephone are unacceptable. It will leave those seeking work or training stranded.

"The Marple Jobcentre is an essential service offering personalised advice and guidance on jobs, training opportunities, benefit claims and form filling to many people in Marple and the surrounding area. This will affect 30,000 people in our local area.

"There is no substitute for personalised support when job hunting. I want to see the Jobcentre Plus committing to providing a face to face advisory service 5 days a week as soon as possible."

    If you are a resident of the Hazel Grove constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
