Calls for Exmouth jobcentre to be reinstated

The lack of a job centre in Exmouth will be discussed at the town council this evening.

People claiming benefits or looking for work currently have to go to Exeter.

Some people have to walk there and back because they can't afford public transport - it costs more than £7 for an adult return on the bus. 

Others say they're  take out loans to pay for childcare while they go to sign on.

A motion will go before the town council this evening, proposing that the issue is raised with the Department for Work and Pensions.
