Rejected petition Stop the announced closure of HMRC Cumbernauld and retain a local HMRC presence
On Thursday 12th November 2015, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) announced a national decision to close HMRC offices throughout the UK. The Cumbernauld office is to be closed in 2019/2020. This will severely impact on the lives of almost all staff in the building, and will devastate the local community.
