POST OFFICE

Early day motion 903, tabled 17 March 2003 by Baroness Hoey (Labour). Signed by 25 members.

That this House notes with great concern the closure of the Waterloo Road Post Office branch, North Lambeth; further notes that this closure is to proceed despite massive opposition from across the locality, including large businesses, community groups and tenants associations; further notes that a high number of local residents, many of whom are elderly, disabled or have small children will be extremely inconvenienced by this closure; and calls on the Post Office to reconsider the future of Waterloo Road Post Office and so end the impression that its consultation process is a sham and a formality which must be adhered to before proceeding exactly as they wish.

Signatures by party: Labour 15, Liberal Democrat 6, Conservative 1, DUP 1, Labour/Co-operative 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
