Shrewsbury Post Offices (EDM398)

Shrewsbury Post Offices

EDM number 398 in 2002-03, proposed by Paul Marsden on 17/12/2002.

That this House expresses grave concern that six post offices out of a total of 18 in Shrewsbury are due to close; agrees with Postwatch that 'it will be the more vulnerable members of society including the elderly, disabled and unemployed' who will be affected the most; remembers Labour's pledge in 1997 that only they could be 'trusted with the future of the Post Office' and they would 'maintain the network of post offices', yet notes that 3,000 post offices nationally are due to close over the next two years; and urges the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry to reject Consignia's closure plan and invest in the Post Office to ensure a comprehensive network is maintained.

This motion has been signed by a total of 22 MPs.
