Important Information – DVLA Local Offices

Wednesday 15 February 2012 at 01:08 am DVLA have recently announced that it is considering closing its entire entire network of Local Offices across the UK by 2013.

This will have serious implications for those wishing to apply for an age related number plate for an unregistered bike.

All the services which the Local Offices currently provide Including registrations will be transferred to Swansea and be operated via a postal service.

For those of you who have dealt with DVLA in the past I don’t need to explain the importance of being able to speak to them face to face, customers would be forced to deal with them via their call centre which already presents a number of issues. The postal service will also mean a delay to the registration of your vehicle.

There is a public consultation running until March the 6th and I want to urge you all to please consider signing the on line petition to keep all Local Offices open.

If you wish to support the Local Offices and the important services they offer please follow the link and sign the petition www.savethedvla.co.uk

Or

If you wish to take part in the public consultation and state your opposition to closure then please email consultations.cad@dvla.gsi.gov.uk

Please mark it “Response to the consultation on Transforming Government (DVLA) services” and stress the value of face to face over the counter dealings with the DVLA.

Please make your opposition heard while we still have the chance to save them.
