HENDON POST OFFICE

Early day motion 916, tabled 1 November 2005 by Andrew Dismore (Labour). Signed by 18 members.

That this House expresses its deep concern over the proposals by the Post Office to franchise the Brent Street, Hendon, Crown post office; notes that some 3,600 people per week use the branch; further notes that the Post Office has refused point blank to give any statistical or financial details to enable the decision to be challenged; further notes that the Post Office has not justified its claim that the Crown post office in Hendon loses money; recognises that the previous franchising of the Edgware post office has not been a success, with many complaints of poor levels of service; and calls upon the Post Office to abandon its unwelcome, unjustified and unpopular proposal to franchise the post office at Hendon forthwith.

Signatures by party: Labour 17, DUP 1.
