Save our Post Offices - sign Paul's petition

Paul Scriven is leading the fight to protect our local Post Offices from a huge programme of cuts.

Under Mr. Brown's Labour Government, 2,500 Post Offices are facing the axe nationally.

Paul said: "3,000 Post Offices closed under the last Conservative Government, and another 4,000 have already closed under New Labour. Enough is enough."

Paul added: "Post Offices are vital parts of local communities. For many people they are a lifeline. 26 Post Offices have closed in Sheffield since 1999. We need to fight to save our Post Offices because Mr Brown isn't listening."

The Liberal Democrats are currently the only party with a complete plan to stop the wave of Post Office closures.
