HEREFORD'S tax office is to close as part of a major shake-up across the West Midlands.
Staff at the HM Revenue and Customs building in Broadway House, Broad Street, were told of the closures yesterday afternoon.
A total of 50 offices across England will shut in a bid to slash the department's budget.
The tax office at the Old MEB Buildings, Riddings Road in Ludlow will also close.
