Stunell slams new round of post office closures

May 18, 2007 9:26 AM

Today, Hazel Grove MP has hit out at the Government's failure to listen to the concerns of people in Stockport over post office closures. His comments follow a Government announcement that they will close at least 2,500 more post offices across the country.

Commenting on his campaign to 'Save our Post Offices', Mr Stunell said:

"Seven post offices have already been closed in my Hazel Grove constituency since 1997.

"Along with many local people, I have been campaigning against the Government's post office closure plans and I will be stepping up the fight once again.

"Post offices are a central part of our local communities in Stockport. We cannot afford see more of these valuable local resources closed.

"If, instead of initiating a further round of cuts, the Government were to adopt Liberal Democrats plans for the Post Office then they would be able to invest an additional £2 billion in the network and safeguard the future of local post offices for years to come." ENDS

    If you are a resident of the Hazel Grove constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
