Keep Our Post Offices Open June 24, 2007
Posted by esthermcvey2009 in Conservatives.trackback
The weather wasn’t the best on Saturday morning and yet hundreds of Wirral residents queued in the rain to sign a petition demanding Wirral’s Post Offices remain open.
Labour has closed 22 Wirral Post Offices since 1997 and another 12 more offices are being threatened. Top of the list is Newton and who knows where else next.
Post Offices are the lifeblood of any community. They are vital local institutions, just like a local school or pub. When a local Post Office closes, neighbouring small businesses often suffer a drop in trade.
The Conservatives have many great ideas to protect the national and Wirral Network. I am working with Wirral’s Conservative Councillors on local initiatives but with residents support I believe we can make a difference to the beleaguered and much valued post office network here in Wirral.”
We started our petition in Hoylake the other week and yesterday we were in Upton. In the coming weeks myself and the Action Team will move around Wirral. The enthusiasm from members of the public was just fantastic. Nobody wants the already bealeagured network threatened anymore and I believe that network is stronger and more able to defend itself from Labour’s needless attacks with so much public backing.
Your comments please. What does the Post Office mean to you?
