Dvla Regional Offices All Closing ?

[Richard Grove]

Is it true that all regional DVLA offices are closing at end of 2013?

 

Came accross the below news article by accident

Hows that going work? everything being done in Swansea?

To be fair.... could it possibly get any worse anyway?

Apparently yes:

All done online or by post (until they close Royal Mail).

 

It's a complete clusterf**k, I don't see any mention of how vehicle inspections will be undertaken though. With any luck it'll transfer from DVLA to VOSA which would at least ensure a bit of consistancy. Whatever they do decided to do, they haven't updated the website yet:

Good point - just realised its old news as well - can't beleive I missed it.

 

I registered 3 kit cars at Worcester and never had a ny problems so I guess I have been lucky.

 

We are just starting a 2B build so it looks like its going to be fun next year when it comes to IVA and registration.

Hi,

I am not sure if it is all regional offices that are closing but for sure it is a lot of them. I always had excellent service from my local office in Peterborough too. Richyb66 is not far from the mark with his comment about Royal mail either, I work for them and used to be proud of it because we gave a good service then because we were able to. if we get privatised you can forget about a 6 day service because that will be the first thing that goes. If you see a petition against privatisation then for gods sake sign it!

Every cloud etc--- one less day of junk mail.

[Snapperpaul]

All office to close

And when they do and you have to deal with Swansea or .gov site only I do not want hear anyone who applauded the closure of the local office or winged at the service they received moan

Remember its what you wanted
