Post Offices In Wales (No. 2)

EDM number 1788 in 2007-08, proposed by Adam Price on 13/06/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Postal services and Service industries.

That this House notes its disappointment at the decision to name Blaenau post office, Cwmann post office, Gorslas post office, Llansaint post office, Parcyrhun post office, Saron post office and Tirydail post office in the South and West Wales Area Plan proposals for closure; further highlights Nantgaredig post office, Rhandirmwyn post office, Rhydcymerau post office, Brechfa post office, Dryslwyn post office, Llanpumsaint post office and Llanwrda post office which have all been earmarked for an outreach service; believes the disproportionate number of post offices in the Carmarthen East and Dinefwr constituency affected is especially damaging due to the rural nature of the area; and calls for the list to be reconsidered incorporating the social impacts these proposals will have on the community.

This motion has been signed by a total of 17 MPs.
