Letter from M. E. G. Fogden to Mr. Martin Redmond, dated 28 April 1994:
The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your question asking which Jobcentre catchment areas cover a number of South Yorkshire villages.It may be helpful if I explain that Jobcentre boundaries are designed to reflect the geographical areas from which Jobcentres can realistically expect to attract clients in terms of employers and job seekers, therefore boundaries are not static.I should also point out that there is some flexibility in the choice of Employment Service office at which clients claim unemployment related benefits. Therefore job seekers living in these villages may not necessarily attend the office given below.The answers requested are provided in the table below.
Villages Covered by Jobcentre at Adwick-on-Dearne Mexborough Barnburgh Goldthorpe Brodsworth Doncaster1 Clayton-with-Frickley South Kirby Hampole Doncaster1 Hickleton Goldthorpe High Melton Goldthorpe Hooton Pagnell South Kirby Marr Doncaster1 1There are five offices in Doncaster. I hope this is helpful.
