Rejected petition Save DVLA Local Offices

More details

DVLA management have announced the full closure of 39 local offices, 10 enforcement centres and 3 processing units with the intention to centralise all services at their headquarters in Swansea. This is a blatant attack on a public service that supports the motor trade and the general public.

Approximately 1200 people will be declared surplus with the majority being made redundant. These closures will disproportionately affect the most vulnerable in society.

We the undersigned deplore the attack on the vital services provided by an efficient and effective workforce of 1200 and call upon the DVLA, DfT and the Secretary of State for Transport to cease all plans to close 39 local offices, 10 enforcement 3 processing units.
