PLANNED CLOSURE OF FAR HEADINGLEY, BRAMHOPE AND NEWALL POST OFFICES

That this House notes with grave concern and regret the planned closure of the Far Headingley, Bramhope and Newall post offices; recognises the highly important role that these post offices play within the local communities they serve; believes that many residents, particularly the elderly, will be significantly disadvantaged by these closures, as well as local businesses who utilise the services the post offices provide; and urges the Government and Post Office Limited to review urgently the closure of these branches.
