The Post Office massacre

No surprise really – my latest column for one of the local magazines is about the campaign to save our local Post Offices:

Our local Post Offices are a much loved and vital part of our community. But Labour’s obsession with trying to squeeze out yet more financial savings (whilst wasting millions in other parts of government) would see another 2,500 Post Offices close across the country as they force the Royal Mail to follow their central targets.

For us locally it’s not just Alexandra Park that faces losing its Post Office – Highgate Village, Weston Park, Ferme Park Road and Salisbury Road are all also facing the same axe. Not all Post Offices face the axe mind – Labour is not wanting to chop any of the three Post Offices all located within the Palace of Westminster. So – no Post Office for Highgate, but three just for the Palace of Westminster!
