Andrew Mitchell visits the Sutton Coldfield Job Centre and met with Cathy Beck, the Senior District Operational Leader, Riaz Khan, Senior Safeguarding Leader, and Frank Harris, Employment and Partnership Manager.

Andrew said:

“I wanted to raise the fact that the job centre in Sutton Coldfield is moving to Erdington at the end of April. Obviously the caseload in Erdington is many times that of the Royal Town. Unemployment here in Sutton has fallen by nearly a fifth in the last year, while unemployment among young people, which reached over 500 at the height of Covid, is now at 230.

“I was reassured to hear that there will be a smooth transition of Sutton Coldfield cases to the Erdington branch, which is easily accessible by either train or bus.”
