CLOSURE OF POST OFFICE, LITTLE VENICE

Early day motion 1390, tabled 23 June 2004 by Karen Buck (Labour). Signed by 17 members.

That this House condemns the proposal by Post Office Ltd. to close the Clifton post office in Little Venice, Westminster, coming as it does soon after three other local post office closures; notes the strong community support for the retention of the service which plays an important role in neighbourhood cohesion; and calls upon Post Office Ltd. to withdraw plans for the closure and to demonstrate a greater recognition of the importance of local post offices in urban as well as in rural areas.

Signatures by party: Labour 12, Liberal Democrat 4, DUP 1.
