I'm sure the issue of moving to Swanwick was raised at the Prospect briefing at MACC. The Union said that they were aware of "applications" being blocked and with the new structure in place they would then start to look hard at any that were as there would now be pay implications.
It is worth noting that a couple of people are shortly to leave here for the College but none that I know of have a sniff of a start date at NERC despite anything up to 10 posting applications being submitted (some quite some time ago). Hopefully, Prospect will be as good as their word and start "unblocking" the system ..so to speak
