CLOSURE OF POST OFFICES IN TOOTING, LONDON

Early day motion 1202, tabled 17 May 2004 by Tom Cox (Labour). Signed by 57 members.

That this House notes with very deep concern the proposed closure of four post offices in the Tooting constituency; notes that these closures follow the closure of previous post offices in the area; is of the opinion that whatever reasons are given by the Post Office for these closures there is not sufficient concern given to the views of local people who clearly do not want or support such a policy; further notes that these closures will deny to local people an essential local service that they value and use; and calls on the Post Office to listen fully and consult people in the areas where these closures are proposed before any final decision is made.
