Closure Of Mail Centres

EDM number 2803 in 2005-06, proposed by Martin Salter on 18/10/2006.

That this House condemns the proposal by Royal Mail to close its mail centres at Gloucester and Reading and transfer operations to Swindon; considers that Royal Mail should have consulted fully, publishing all the evidence in full, before putting forward such a proposal; believes that the centralising of these mail centres will result in thousands of miles of unnecessary and unsustainable journeys by road, thereby causing entirely avoidable pollution and damage to the environment; and further considers that this sets a dangerous precedent for further closure of other mail centres in the UK.

This motion has been signed by a total of 39 MPs.
