28465 2005-06 264 Jim Hood 2005-06-06 That this House expresses its concern at the announcement by Royal Mail of plans to close the main Hamilton post office at Brandon Street and the proposed merger with a sub-post office in Cadzow Street; notes that the new proposed post office would be franchised with a supermarket/convenience store; rejects Post Office Ltd's assertion that such a change would safeguard the future of post office services in the town; considers Royal Mail's decision to be driven by asset stripping and selling off post office services to commercial interests; further notes that the new Cadzow Street office will not be as accessible as the current main office at Brandon Street and will have a detrimental effect on people travelling by foot or public transport, particularly the elderly and mothers with small children; calls on Royal Mail to withdraw its proposals and enter into discussions with community groups, trade unions, honourable Members, Members of the Scottish Parliament and local councillors to examine post office services in the town; and calls on the community to support the Hamilton Advertiser's campaign to save their Post Office.
