POST OFFICE CLOSURES DEVASTATING NEWS FOR OUR AREA - MULHOLLAND

May 14, 2008 12:00 AM

Greg Mulholland, MP for Leeds North West, has said that the planned closures of 63 post offices right across West Yorkshire, including the Bramhope, Far Headingley and Newall post offices in his own constituency, will have a devastating impact on local communities across the area.

Commenting Mr Mulholland said:

"The news of these closures is a huge blow for people right across the area.

"Local businesses and local residents depend upon their local post office and the services that they provide, particularly the elderly who often simply cannot travel for miles to reach their nearest branch.

"These closures are a just another slap in the face for local people.

"The Government must urgently review the plans to close these post offices. We must save our local post offices, not shut them down."

    If you are a resident of the Leeds North West constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
