Outrage at failure to listen to residents on Post Office closures

2.34.00pm BST (GMT +0100) Wed 7th May 2008

The Post Office has today announced it will close Weston Park, Ferme Park Road, Salisbury Road, Alexandra Park Road and Highgate Village Post Offices. Local Liberal Democrats have reacted with outrage and vowed to continue to fight the closures.

Commenting, Lynne Featherstone MP says:

"The government promised it would listen after its drumming in the recent elections, but it is has proved itself completely deaf to the pleas from thousands of local residents and community activists. The message was clear: we do not want these closures.

"The consultation has sadly been a complete sham. Labour and Tories promised action against closures before the election, now is the time to deliver.

"I will do all in my power to keep these Post Offices open."
