Lynne Featherstone

I was in The Evening Standard yesterday with a story about the number of Post Offices London has lost over the last few years under Labour – it’s the same old, same old story of Labour (and the Tories before them) letting our local communities get run down and lose out on key local services:

Opposition MPs said post offices were the “lifeblood” of communities as they helped other small shops and businesses to thrive. They warned the situation is likely to get worse as ministers are planning another 2,500 closures across the country, of which as many as 150 could be in the capital.
Liberal Democrat MP Lynne Featherstone said: “It is unacceptable that the Government has allowed post office numbers to dwindle so drastically in the last few years. It must act to protect them immediately.”
