Post office chiefs agree to review closure decisions - Farron issues cautious welcome

May 13, 2008 3:00 PM

Local MP Tim Farron has issued a cautious welcome as Post Office bosses have told local campaigners that the decision to close their branches will be reviewed.

Mr Farron arranged for senior Post Office officials to meet with representatives of Beetham, Greenodd and Leven Valley post offices on Wednesday 7th May. At those meetings, local representatives were given cause for cautious optimism by the assurances to review the closure decisions made by Richard Lynds from Post Office Limited's Network Change Team.

Tim Farron said:

"It is too early to get our hopes up, but it's clear that local campaigners in Beetham, Greenodd and Leven Valley have made a real impact on Post Office Ltd.

"We must keep up the fight over the next few weeks before the consultation period closes."

    If you are a resident of the Westmorland and Lonsdale constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
