Motion text

That this House expresses concern over the planned closure of the Sketty Park Post Office in the Swansea West Constituency; calls on the Post Office to take into account not only the distance between existing post offices but also the nature of the community served by each post office including factors such as deprivation and concentrations of older or disabled people, and takes the views of both the public and Postwatch into account before announcing any closures; believes that the Government's failure to intervene has resulted in the closure of urban post offices which would have remained open had a systematic closure programme with full consultation been undertaken by the Post Office; and therefore deplores the closure of any post office which did not take these factors fully into account.
