Save our Tottenham post offices
1:29pm Wednesday 5th March 2008 in
I want to inform readers of my support for our two post offices, Page Green and West Green Road, which are under threat from closure.
Tottenham is one of the most deprived constituencies in the country and our post offices play an important part in keeping the community together.
More importantly, they are very well-used - especially by pensioners and the growing number of small businesses.
Only a few hundred yards from the Page Green branch, Costa Coffee has opened a branch, giving us our first quality coffee shop in Tottenham. This, according to local estate agents, is a sure sign Tottenham is on the up.
Thousands of new homes are being built and our post offices will be in even greater demand. I urge the Post Office to re-consider its plans and keep Tottenham's post offices open.
Justin Hinchcliffe, chairman, Tottenham Conservatives
