I am pleased to present a petition on behalf of the thousands of my constituents who are against the closure of the Holmfield post office in Halifax.
The petition states:
The Petition of those opposed to the decision to close Holmfield Post Office,
Declares that they do not believe that the Post Office has given consideration to the range of customers using this branch and the impact of its closure on the community; a large proportion of customers will find it difficult to travel to the suggested alternatives. Further declares that the Holmfield community is also growing rapidly with a high number of new businesses moving into the areas and current businesses expanding. This they are sure will guarantee the viability of this branch for many years to come.
The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory reform to instruct Post Office Ltd to keep Holmfield Post Office open
And the Petitioners remain, etc.
