Local Post Offices

EDM number 850 in 2003-04, proposed by Iris Robinson on 16/03/2004.

That this House recognises the importance of post offices as an integral part of local communities; notes that they are not simply somewhere to access postal services, but that they also provide often rare opportunities for users to meet and converse with others from their area; believes that the closure of smaller post offices will cause great inconvenience to thousands forced to travel further afield, a physical impossibility particularly for the elderly; and wishes to see post offices continue to serve as a focal point for local communities.

This motion has been signed by a total of 50 MPs.
