Post Offices And The Sustainable Communities Act 2007 (EDM1066)

Post Offices And The Sustainable Communities Act 2007

EDM number 1066 in 2007-08, proposed by Timothy Farron on 27/02/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Postal services and Service industries.

That this House expresses continuing disappointment at the closure plans of the post office network and is deeply concerned that the closure of post office branches threatens the sustainability of many communities; notes that in autumn 2008 the Sustainable Communities Act 2007 will come into force, at which point local authorities will be asked by central government to identify support required to keep their communities viable; and in the light of this calls on the Government to issue a moratorium on post office closures in order to allow the Sustainable Communities Act 2007 to operate as intended.

This motion has been signed by a total of 49 MPs.
