Update on Valuation Office Agency

 

 

 

 

 

I am now writing to tell you about our plans to close a further 9 offices by March 2017.

 

These offices are:

 

Barking – closing on 4 November 2016

Teesside – closing on 16 November 2016

Carlisle – closing on 25 November 2016

Bournemouth – closing on 11 January 2017

Newport – closing on 25 January 2017

Leicester – closing on 8 February 2017

Peterborough – closing on 22 February 2017

York – closing on 8 March 2017

Wolverhampton – closing on 22 March 2017

 

Please be assured that this will not affect how we handle our workload.

 

The VOA staff currently based in these locations were informed of this decision on Thursday 5 November and we will now consult with them about alternative locations and ways of working.

 

I would also like to take this opportunity to update you on the closure date of the Isle of Wight office. We are bringing this forward to 13 November to coincide with the last day of the one remaining staff member based in the office.

 

I can now confirm the exact dates we will close the other seven offices:

 

Taunton - 4 December 2015

Worcester - 11 December 2015

Dorchester - 24 February 2016

Isle of Wight - 2 March 2016

Barnstaple - 9 March 2016

Ulverston - 9 March 2016

Merthyr Tydfil - 15 March 2016

 

Since March we have consulted with the VOA people based in these offices about alternative locations and ways of working and I can assure you that this will not affect the service we provide to our customers.
