Fight to save Highgate Post Office

The Post Office is planning a series of closures across Haringey.

The first I heard about was the one on Highgate High Street, as our Lib Dem by-election candidate Rachel Allison has launched a petition to fight the closure proposal.

If you agree that the loss of the post office would be a big blow to Highgate, please sign Rachel's petition at: http://ourcampaign.org.uk/highgatepostoffice

If you live in Highgate, you'll also be getting a paper copy of the petition to sign.

But it's not just Highgate that's under threat locally. There are seven post offices across Haringey which will be in proposed for closure when the 'consultation' begins next week.

As well as Highgate, the post offices at Weston Park, Ferme Park Road, Alexandra Park Road, Salisbury Road, West Green Road and Page Green Road are under threat.

Local post offices are not just about convenience, but a sense of community too. My Lib Dem colleagues and I will be doing all we can to fight the closures, locally and nationally - please sign the petition above, and do write to your local MP asking for their help.

There isn't a post office on Page Green Road. The Page Green PO is on Broad Lane! (-:

Ah, thanks, sorry for typo - not my patch, so I'm not familiar with the location...
