Jobcentres: Shirebrook
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent estimate she has made of when the JobCentre in Shirebrook will re-open.
Answered by Andrew Western
To ensure DWP staff continue to work from, and deliver, our public facing services in a safe and secure environment, it has been necessary to close Shirebrook Jobcentre since September 2024 while the Department continues to assess the overall condition of the building.
As part of the Department’s business continuity measures, there has been no interruption to services as staff have continued to work from offices in the area, and where needed, customers are being seen at Mansfield Jobcentre.
The Department is committed to exploring all the available long-term delivery options for jobcentre services in the Shirebrook area and will provide an update for the Member of Parliament for Bolsover as soon as it is able to do so.
