Re: Virgin Media Closing Albert Dock

No, that was only one example of reasonable situations where relocation could not be considered as a serious option.

Others could be a terminally ill relative living in close proximity to Liverpool or a partner who is unwilling to disrupt a good career.

Nobody who does not wish to go to Swansea will be forced to, they are free to seek alternative employment so that they can remain where they are, however, the current difficulties in obtaining employment should not be underestimated.

Those offered employment in Swansea, who turn it down without "just cause" and who do not obtain a replacement job at their current geographical location may face difficulties when trying to claim benefits.

There are regulations in place that the Department for Work and Pensions use to protect public funds.
