Four out of the five post offices
in this area have been saved from closure. Those unaffected are
Gnosall, Haughton, Bradley, and Derrington. However the Post
Office have decided that the one at Great Bridgeford is to shut.
Barry Stamp has been actively involved with the Liberal Democrats
campaign to save rural post offices. At the beginning of March
Liberal Democrats handed a 50,000 name petition into to Downing
Street calling on the Government to end the closure plans.
Don't
be fooled by the Conservatives
When the
Conservatives were in power they closed 3500 post offices! |
"What we need now is a concerted
effort by all political parties to work together to fight these
closure plans, instead of trying to score political points in
the hope of winning votes. Locally the County Council are seeking
ways of using their power and influence to either stop the closures
or if this is not possible ensuring replacement services are
available. I will be urging the Borough Council to work with
the County Council and other organisations to ensure this happens,"
said Barry Stamp.
