Additionally, posters have been on display in the Medical Assessment Centre at Cadogan Street in Glasgow to alert people attending medicals of all the impending closures and mergers.<\/p>

I would stress again that the office mergers are not about reducing services, but about taking the opportunity to stop spending money on empty space so we can spend more on supporting those in need. The face-to-face support our work coaches offer at jobcentres will continue to be a core part of the service we deliver.<\/p>

Accessibility and transport for staff and claimants were considered as part of the planning of the mergers which make best use of space at Shettleston Jobcentre. Local managers are in regular contact with Glasgow City Council and Police Scotland who are aware of these moves and have not identified any specific issues to date. We have agreed that the reconfigured service will be an agenda item at key stakeholder meetings over the coming months to ensure that DWP and their partners are discussing and resolving any issues that may arise around parking and access to Shettleston Jobcentre as part of our partnership agenda.<\/p>

<\/p>

There is no legal requirement for the Department to conduct an impact assessment on potential effects of traffic, parking or air quality in the vicinity of Shettleston Jobcentre.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Shettleston office has been significantly under-utilised in recent years but has previously accommodated in excess of 120 staff and related customer service activity with no issues relating to parking or transport.<\/p>

<\/p>

It is worth reiterating that due to the complexity of the commercial process with negotiations on hundreds of leases and to protect our commercial position, we were unable to discuss information about specific offices until negotiations concluded and plans announced.
