Local Liberal Democrats have demanded that Haringey Council puts its money where its mouth is to save Haringey’s beleaguered Post Office network. Following the closure of Ferme Park Road and Weston Park Road Post Office this week, Liberal Democrats have urged Haringey Council to honour its promises to help.

In March 2008, Haringey Council leader George Meehan promised he would consider options to save Post Offices but since then Haringey Council has been silent on the issue.

With more Post Offices set to close, Leader of the Liberal Democrats in Haringey, Cllr Robert Gorrie, has written an open letter to Cllr Meehan to demand action from Haringey Council to save the vital community resource for the residents of Haringey.

Cllr Robert Gorrie, Leader of Haringey Liberal Democrat Group, comments:

“The Council promised residents that they would do everything to ensure no Post Office would close in Haringey. The silence since then has been deafening. It is time for them to put their money where their mouth is.”

Lynne Featherstone MP added:

“With Post Offices closing as we speak, the Leader of the Council urgently needs to let the people of Haringey know what he is going to do to save these vital services.There have been plenty of fine words, now is the time for action.”
