Save Our Post offices
Post Offices are the lifeblood of communities in both rural and urban areas, particularly when they are combined with other services, such as the local shop. They have a vital role to play for the more vulnerable groups in society - the over 65s, disabled people, carers, single parents, unemployed people and those without a car who find it difficult to use public transport. Closures affect these people more than any other members of society. When the local Post Office closes other services often follow suit, which can have extremely detrimental repercussions for the community.

Tim Farron reacts to Post Office closure announcement
Local MP Tim Farron has reacted today to the announcement from Post Office Limited detailing the plans for branch closures in his constituency. The local campaign to save post offices in Westmorland and Lonsdale has clearly had a real effect as the area sees a lower-than-average number of branches earmarked for closure. The plans for the areas include five closures and four earmarked for so-called 'outreach' arrangements.
