As the Post Office announced the Government backed Post Office closure proposals for Greater Manchester I joined MP’s fellow Parliamentary candidates and Councillors to  launch the Greater Manchester Lib Dem Save our post Offices petition. Bury faces 5 closures (despite local Labour claims of scare-mongering), 1 in Radcliffe, 1 in Greenmount and 3 in Bury.
The Liberal Democrats have a viable plan to prevent further closures and help to sustain the network; a plan that wouldn’t cost the earth that would invest in our local Post Office network not chop it up. Post Offices should be local and should be supporting our communities and we will continue to fight with our local community to save them.
