That this House wholeheartedly supports the people of Chase Cross, Collier Row, Rise Park and Havering-atte-Bower in opposing the proposed closure of the Gobions Avenue Post Office, Gobions Avenue in Romford; recognises the vital importance of this post office in serving the local community; urges the Government and Post Office Ltd to listen to the views of all local people and reverse the policy of closing sub-post offices; acknowledges that the Gobions Avenue Post Office provides the local community with its only source of accessing vital services; and therefore calls upon the Government to accept the essential and continuing need for this and other sub-post offices throughout the Romford area to remain open for business.
