POST OFFICES IN EASINGTON CONSTITUENCY

Early day motion 1357, tabled 16 June 2004 by John Cummings (Labour). Signed by 21 members.

That this House condemns the decision by Post Office Ltd to close post offices in Horden and Seaham in the constituency of Easington; notes that these post offices are located in areas of great social deprivation, high levels of chronic illness, low car ownership and poor public transport; and calls upon the Post Office to withdraw the proposals for closure and lend every support to local post masters and mistresses to improve the viability of these much needed services.

Signatures by party: Labour 15, Liberal Democrat 4, DUP 2.
