Post Office Closures Completely Unnecessary

12.00.00am BST (GMT +0100) Mon 8th Oct 2007

Commenting on the Government announcement of the first 180 post offices to be closed, Liberal Democrat MP for Hereford, Paul Keetch said:

"These closures are completely unnecessary. It is obvious that there are ways of sustaining post offices without breaking the bank. What's missing is the Government's willingness to do so.

"What is the point in consultation if the views of accountants are more important than those of the customer?

"Once again vital social services are being lost to communities for the sake of money and because of an assessment process that takes little account of the effects of the changes being made."
