Post Office Closures And The Sustainable Communities Bill

EDM number 2149 in 2005-06, proposed by Mark Williams on 11/05/2006.

That this House is concerned at the ongoing decline of numbers of post offices; notes that post office closures often impact most heavily on rural communities; acknowledges that post offices are one of the local services that help create sustainable communities; welcomes measures to empower local communities to keep their post offices if they so wish; and so supports the provisions of the Sustainable Communities Bill and hopes they will be introduced in this Parliament.

This motion has been signed by a total of 45 MPs.
