PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
RELOCATING CROWN POST OFFICES (17 October 2018)
Motion Details
That this House notes the historical programme of relocating Crown post offices; further notes that, in some cases, this has saved funds and enabled better use of retail space; recognises that this programme has now been taken too far in places such as Kendal and Beverly where post offices are being moved to facilities of an insufficient size; further recognises that this will result in a drastic reduction in the services provided; and calls on the Government to halt its programme of relocating Crown post offices with immediate effect.
