Lodged by Clare Adamson (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 23 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Mohammed Aslam, Pather’s Postmaster, on receiving his Community Service Award for 20 years of continued service; understands that the award is given for every decade of commitment and dedication within the community; further understands that Mohammed has been a postmaster since 1994 in Glasgow, before opening the Post Office in Pather on 22 April 2002; believes that Post Offices offer a vital service for communities, by providing a place for people to pay their bills, collect benefits, drop off their parcels, buy stamps and, more than often, provide a friendly face to those who are isolated, alone and often vulnerable within communities; notes that around 17 million customers across the UK, including a third of all small businesses, visit a post office every week; considers that communities cannot be left stranded without access to the essential services provided by post offices; commends Mohammed’s commitment to the community, and wishes him well for the future.
