GIDEA PARK AND ARDLEIGH GREEN POST OFFICES

Early day motion 418, tabled 16 December 2004 by Andrew Rosindell (Conservative). Signed by 11 members.

That this House is concerned by the proposed closure of the Gidea Park and Ardleigh Green Post Offices in Romford; recognises the vital importance of these post offices in serving the local communities in Gidea Park, Ardleigh Green, Emerson park and Nelmes; urges the Government and Post Office Ltd to listen to the views of all local people during the consultation process and reverse the policy of closing sub-post offices; acknowledges that the Gidea Park and Ardleigh Green Post Offices provide the community with their only source of accessing vital services; and therefore calls upon the Government to accept the essential and continuing need for these and other sub-post offices throughout the Romford area to remain in operation.
