 Noel Park residents were today airing their concerns about proposed Post Office closures when they met Lynne Featherstone MP, and Councillor Fiyaz Mughal, Liberal Democrat councillor for Noel Park, in the Salisbury Road Post Office. The Post Office was crowded with residents who all expressed great apprehension about how this closure might impact on what they can do locally.
Lynne Featherstone comments:
“Thank you to everyone who turned up. I was concerned to hear to hear the many stories of the hardship this closure will cause local people, especially the elderly and the frail. It confirmed my gut instinct that people don’t want these Post Offices to close.
“The Labour government needs to sit up and listen to residents- they simply don’t want this closure.”
Councillor Fiyaz Mughal adds:
“Today Lynne Featherstone and I listened to the very real concerns and anger that resident’s feel about the closure of these community hubs. It shows that Labour disregards the views of local residents, and frankly do what they please in the end.”
