Lib Dems Fight to Save Local Post Offices

The Post Office network is crumbling. Over the last two decades, post offices have been closing at a rate of over 300 a year. Under the last Conservative Government, 3,500 local post offices closed, and under Labour another 4,000 have closed, hitting communities across the country. And things are set to get even worse. On 14 December 2006 Alastair Darling announced the start of a consultation period likely to result in 2,500 more Post Office closures. Only the Lib Dems have a 5 point plan to save local Post Offices If your local Post Office closed, you could be forced to use the already extremely busy Post Office in High Wycombe. Not only that, but the loss of a local Post Office can lead to other local shops losing trade and closing too. Wycombe Liberal Democrats will fight tooth and nail to retain your local services, just as they did when the West Wycombe library was threatened with closure.
