CLOSURE OF POST OFFICES IN WORSLEY

Early day motion 1953, tabled 17 November 2004 by Terry Lewis (Labour). Signed by 1 member.

That this House deplores the decision of Post Office Ltd. to close the Greenheys, Manchester Road East, Bolton Road, Linnyshaw, Mosley Common and Topping's Bridge sub-post offices in Worsley; believes the public consultation to have been a travesty; further believes that the consultees were presented by Post Office Ltd. with a fait accompli, given that the closure programme was confirmed in its entirety within days of the end of the consultation period; further deplores that Mr Eddy Herbert, of Post Office Ltd., has yet to reply to post-consultation correspondence from the honourable Member for Worsley; and concludes that the Department for Trade and Industry should inquire into the way in which the Post Office Reinvention Programme has been conducted.

Signatures by party: Labour 1.
