POST OFFICE CLOSURES AND THE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES BILL

That this House is concerned at the ongoing decline of numbers of post offices; notes that post office closures often impact most heavily on rural communities; acknowledges that post offices are one of the local services that help create sustainable communities; welcomes measures to empower local communities to keep their post offices if they so wish; and so supports the provisions of the Sustainable Communities Bill and hopes they will be introduced in this Parliament.
