Solihull Post Offices

EDM number 2031 in 2007-08, proposed by Lorely Burt on 14/07/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Postal services and Service industries.

That this House notes with concern that during the Post Office network change programme consultation in the Midlands so far, despite 160 objections to the closure of a post office, only four reversals have been successful; further notes that a consultation is currently underway in Solihull; further notes that post offices play a valuable role in local communities by offering a vital lifeline for those most vulnerable; and calls on the Government to ensure that the views of the residents in Solihull are fully acknowledged during the consultation, and that wherever possible post offices are supported and encouraged to thrive, rather than closed against the wishes of local people.

This motion has been signed by a total of 34 MPs.
