Scrap plans to close the BIS Department's Sheffield office - costing 247 jobs

Petition Details

On January 28 the department responsible for the 'Northern Powerhouse' initiative announced the closure of its largest non-London office.

Government is too London-based and the capital's economy is outperforming the North. It is completely the wrong strategy to rebalance our nation's economy.
