This afternoon I paid a visit to the Post Office on Lewis Street in Patricroft, which is one of the three Salford Post Offices that the Labour Government will tomorrow announce that they want to close down.
I visited in mid-afternoon but there was a steady stream of people coming in, and the volume of people increased further when the two nearby Primary Schools finished for the day. Indeed, it seemed far too busy to be a prime candidate for closure.
I spoke to a number of local residents who were all in agreement about the importance of the Post Office to the local community in Patricroft. There was shock and anger at the closure proposals. They will all have the opportunity to have their say in the forthcoming consultation - more details on that tomorrow after the official announcement.
Salford Conservatives have today launched a petition against Labour’s Post Office closure proposals. There’s also a Facebook group if, like me, you are a member on that site.
