Lib Dems hand Gower "Save Our Post Offices" petition to Downing Street
March 20, 2007 1:20 PM
A petition from people in the Gower constituency calling for Post Offices to be saved from closure has been handed in to Downing Street by Liberal Democrats.
Party campaigners collected the signatures in protest at government plans to close 2500 Post Office branches. Welsh Liberal Democrat Assembly candidate for Gower and Dunvant councillor Nick Tregoning handed on the petition to the Liberal Democrats Shadow Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, Susan Kramer MP at the recent party conference held in Harrogate.
Nick Tregoning said, "Many local people are concerned about the future of the Post Office network. We have already seen the closure of 8 branches in Gower in recent years.
"We ran the petition so that people living in the Gower constituency could raise their concerns with the government. We are pleased therefore that Susan Kramer handed in the petition to Downing Street.
"We are waiting to see the results of the government's consultation on its Post Office closure plans. The Welsh Liberal Democrats will continue to argue for a strong Post Office network as a vital asset in local communities."
