Post Office Limited has announced that the Post Office on Hecla Avenue in Drumchapel is under threat of closure.

This Post Office provides a vital service for many local residents, the loss of which would have a detrimental impact on the wider community in Drumchapel as well as causing concern for staff.

Whilst there is the opportunity to franchise the current office, this could endanger the ongoing provision of services and jobs in the local area, as well as the branch’s current convenient location in the heart of the community.

Visiting the Post Office, it is noticeable just how busy the counters are and how strongly the community feels about this proposal.

Pictured are Carol Monaghan MP and Councillor Malcolm Balfour with local residents campaigning for the protection of this important facility.

We call upon the Post Office to halt any plans to close the Drumchapel Post Office and ensure that these services and jobs can be maintained and protected in the local area.
