<title>Post Offices In Finchley And Golders Green</title>
<proposer id="10616">Rudi Vis</proposer>
<date>2008-02-27</date>
<text>That this House notes with concern the proposal to close five sub-post offices in the Finchley and Golders Green constituency, namely Childs Hill, East End Road, High Road, Nether Street and Pennine Parade; further notes that a post office is a vital community facility of great value to many residents, particularly to the elderly, the disabled and for people with young children; congratulates all those constituents who are going to fight these closures; and believes that proposals to close five sub-post offices in one community is a major error on the part of Post Office Ltd.</text>
