Post Offices In Hyndburn (EDM1050)

Post Offices In Hyndburn

EDM number 1050 in 2007-08, proposed by Greg Pope on 26/02/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Postal services and Service industries.

That this House notes with concern the proposal to close five sub-post offices in Hyndburn constituency, namely Longshoot in Haslingden, St Hubert's in Great Harwood, Church, Huncoat and Belthorn; recognises that these post offices are at the heart of their communities and believes it to be wholly wrong for all five to close; congratulates the Lancashire Telegraph on its Save Our Village Post Offices campaign; commends Hyndburn and Rossendale Borough councillors and Lancashire County councillors for being involved in cross-party campaigns to save the post offices; believes that expecting five post offices to close in Hyndburn is too many; and calls for Post Office Ltd to reconsider this proposal as a matter of urgency.

This motion has been signed by a total of 20 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
