You've probably heard that one fifth of all the Post Offices in London are to be closed.

Of these six are in the Royal Borough. They are:

• Surbiton Park, 62 Surbiton Road, Kingston KT1 2HT
• Norbiton Common, 240 Kingston Road, New Malden KT3 3RN
• Burlington Road, 82 Burlington Road, New Malden KT3 4NU
• Plough Green, 380 Malden Road, Worcester Park KT4 7NL
• Hook Rise, 311 Hook Rise South, Surbiton KT6 7LS
• Chestnut Grove, 127 Richmond Road, Kingston KT2 5BX

Needless to say, Liberal Democrats are totally opposed to these closures - Post Offices are key centres in any community, and are particularly important for pensioners. The Government should be finding more uses for them, not removing them from our urban villages.

Edward Davey has already achieved success by opposing the closure of the Post Office on Tolworth Broadway. He is now campaigning to save the five threatened Post Offices in his constituency (the first five in the list). Please join in and sign the petition.
