On 10th June, the Post Office announces “Network Change” proposals for Greater Manchester. In real English that means “Post Office closures”. I’ll be taking a close interest in the proposals for Salford, as I’m sure will local residents across the City.
It’s interesting to look at the consultation programme on the Post Office website. With the solitary exception of Merseyside, all the English metropolitan areas have had the announcements on Post Office closures scheduled for this summer, after the local elections. What do all the metropolitan areas have in common? They all had local elections last week.
Doesn’t that tell you all you need to know about our spineless Labour Government?
Thanks Iain for the reminder of the date, as we for one will be watching keenly what happens to our Post Office on Littleton Road. It is beyond contemplation that such a busy Post Office should even be under threat.

Hi Iain,
Hope you won’t mind me posting this (though it is off-topic) but there’s an important political meeting that’s just been organised ‘last minute’ in Salford.
This Thursday (8th May) at 7:30pm. Salford Cathedral. Free entry.
Meeting: “Passion For Life.”
Organisers: The All Party Parliamentary Pro-Life Group.
Confirmed speakers: Conservative Cllr. and PPC Mrs. Fiona Bruce.
Lord David Alton. Mr. Jim Dobbin M.P. (Chair of the all party group).
Ann Widdecombe M.P. is presently unconfirmed as a speaker but may join the above.
Further to the last post…
Attended the meeting and I must say the stand out speaker was Conservative Warrington councillor (and PPC) Fiona Bruce… simply superb! A credit to the Conservative Party.
