Liberal Democrats Support the Fight Against Post Office Closures in N E Lincs
North East Lincolnshire councillors have rallied around in support of post offices.
At a recent meeting of the full council, a motion was passed to campaign to the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry not to close the post offices.Coun Enid Cragg (Lib Dem, Immingham) said: “Post offices are the lifeblood of our communities in both rural and urban areas.
“The most vulnerable in society are those most affected by post office closures – the over 65s, people with disabilities, carers, the unemployed and those without a car who find it difficult to access public transport.”
Leader of the council Coun Andrew De Freitas (Lib Dem, Park) said: “Elderly people look forward to talking to people at the post office and meeting their friends there. The way things are going, we will find ourselves in a situation where there are no post offices left.”The council members voted unanimously to support the campaign not to close post offices in North East Lincolnshire.
