DWP publishes amended list of jobcentres and local authorities taking part in national expansion to single jobseekers

The DWP has published revised ‘tranche 1 and 2’ and ‘tranche 3 and 4’ pdfs and says that they reflect amendments to the national expansion plans made ‘following discussion with local authorities and Jobcentre Plus’ -

Thanks, Ros. 

This seems to be mostly just fixing typos and clarification of cases where some LAs (e.g Rutland) were only listed under “also serves..”.

However, I think the following have changed..

Watford BC and Powys County seem to have moved from tranche 4 to tranche 3.

Reading BC and Wokingham BC (both Newbury JCP and previously shown as starting 6 July (tranche 2) as well as tranche 3) are now shown as tranche 3 only (Sep to Nov 2015). (Although West Berkshire (also Newbury JCP) is still starting 6 July.)

South Bucks DC (tranche 3) and Rushcliffe BC and Broadland DC (both tranche 4)  are now on the list ( they were previously missing).

The official list of postcodes and start dates (currently available for for tranche 1 and tranche 2 only) doesn’t seem to have changed at all.
