Proceeding contribution from Martin Horwood (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 May 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Post Office Review.


Post Office Review

Much has rightly been said about rural post offices in this discussion, but Hesters Way in my constituency is described by the Government as one of the most deprived urban neighbourhoods in the country. It is losing its local post office, located in a branch of McColl’s, at almost no notice within a matter of weeks. Now we are told that Cheltenham’s modern, purpose-built Crown post office is to be relocated in WH Smith. What guarantees do we have that that will not suffer the same fate?
