London Post Office Closures

EDM number 1071 in 2007-08, proposed by Tom Brake on 27/02/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Postal services and Service industries.

That this House regrets the planned closure of 170 post offices in London; recognises that hundreds of thousands of people will be affected by these closures because they may not be able to travel the extra distance to the next post office; notes that once a branch is closed it is highly unlikely that it will be reopened; is concerned that with the current high rate of population growth in the city, Londoners will be even more disadvantaged in the coming years by this proposal; recognises that whilst one fifth of London's post offices are being closed, the three Crown post offices in the House, all within 100 metres of one another, remain open; and requests that Parliament should not be exempt from the disadvantage of post office closures

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
