Stockport Postmark
EDM number 1229 in 2008-09, proposed by Mark Hunter on 31/03/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Postal services.
That this House condemns the decison by the Royal Mail to move the Stockport sorting office into Manchester later this year; notes with dismay and regret that the Stockport postmark will be abolished as a result of this move; believes that the Stockport postmark is integral to Stockport's strong local identity as an independent, proud and successful borough; further believes that moving the Stockport sorting office and removing the postmark shows how little attention Royal Mail pays to the needs and opinions of the local community; and calls on the Royal Mail to reconsider both moving the Stockport sorting office and abolishing the Stockport postmark.
This motion has been signed by a total of 12 MPs.
