The Issue

Without your support, it's very likely the post office on West Green Rd will permanently close.

The Post Office head office think there isn’t enough need for a main post office on West Green Road and residents are able to just use other places.

Sign this petition and tell them they're wrong!

Without your support the post office will be downgraded from a 'main' to a 'local', which will, at best result in a loss of services, and most likely result in it not reopening, as it will no longer be financially viable.

Post Offices are the heart of communities, and it's presence is critical to the economic viability of the West Green Road. Having a local main office benefits people who need to be able to walk to post offices, such as older or disabled people, especially now during the pandemic, as using public transport is more risky. In addition, keeping local facilities which encourage walking or cycling to them, sustaining a safer and healthier community.

Forcing the WGR post office to change of status from 'main' to 'local' will mean these services will all be lost:
