CLOSURE OF POST OFFICES IN LEICESTER

Early day motion 337, tabled 21 November 2007 by Keith Vaz (Labour). Signed by 13 members.

That this House notes with concern the announcement of the planned closure of the Willow Brook Road and Gipsy Lane branches of the post office in Leicester; believes that post offices offer a vital service to the community; and further believes that the closures are likely to have a particularly negative impact on elderly and disabled members of the community and that these closures could result in the degradation of the local communities.
