Motion text
That this House celebrates the life’s work of Paul and Glynis, who ran the Post Office and village shop in Butleigh for 29 years and contributed to making it the beating heart of the community; thanks them for their dedication, kindness and tireless service to local residents, who will miss them enormously; wishes them a very happy and well-deserved retirement following the closure of Butleigh’s Post Office on 9 April 2025; recognises the essential role Post Office branches play in the life of our villages, towns and high streets, particularly in rural areas across the UK; and calls on the Government to act to secure the future of the Post Office by putting it on a sustainable footing for the long term, including supporting its mutualisation to give sub-postmasters greater independence and a stronger voice.
