Post Office closure consultation was a sham say Lib Dems
Local residents across Wiltshire are reeling after the Labour government pushed through a number of local Post Office closures in spite of fierce opposition.
Liberal Democrats led campaigns to keep them open, starting petitions and calling public meetings, but the government and the Royal Mail refused to listen.
Local campaigner Duncan Hames said “Sadly the consultation was a complete sham. No matter how many local objections were raised, the Post Office has pressed ahead regardless. More closures could also be on the way, he warns. The government are about to decide whether to scrap the Post Office card account. If they do, thousands more Post Offices across the country could face the axe. This has to stop, before more of our local communities suffer as a result.”
