 Stafford Conservative Fight Post Office Closures
Conservatives in Stafford calling on the Government to abort plans to close 2,500 Post Offices, including 3 in the Stafford Constituency.
The Government announced on April 1st, that Marston Road, Wolverhampton Road and Great Bridgeford Post Offices will close as part of its closure programme.
Across the country, 4,000 Post Offices – a quarter of the network – have closed since 1997. A further 2,500 are expected to close by 2009.
Jeremy Lefroy, Parliamentary candidate for Stafford, said: “Last year, 2,000 sub-post masters marched on Parliament and gave a four-million name petition to the Prime Minister opposing Post Office closures.
“Now, we are about to be told that yet more are to close and I’m concerned that some will be in Stafford. Many of our communities, especially the most vulnerable people, rely on these Post Offices.”
Conservatives are collecting signatures on a petition that will be presented to Downing Street, sign the petition here. |
