Save our post offices - say Lib Dems
February 24, 2008 12:00 AM
Brian Robson is campaigning to stop the closure of most Post Offices in Greenwich
Local Liberal Democrats are fighting plans to close another five post offices across the Borough.
After thousands of post office closures during recent years, Gordon Brown's Labour Government - backed by local MPs Nick Raynsford, Clive Efford and John Austin - now say that another 2,500 are to be axed - 169 of those are in London - 20% of all post offices.
Greenwich & Lewisham Lib Dem GLA candidate Cllr Brian Robson said, "Post Offices provide a vital community service. These closures will hit local people, especially older residents, very hard indeed. Only the Liberal Democrats have a plan to save our local post offices and to open new post offices when needed."
The Post Offices under threat in Greenwich are:
- 263 Eltham High Street
- 119 Plumstead Common Road
- 11 Blackheath Hill
- 8 Woolwich Road
- 43 Bostall Hill
