Christopher Pincher backs plan for the future of Tamworth Post Offices
Tamworth’s Member of Parliament, Christopher Pincher, has welcomed the news of a 10-year deal between Royal Mail and the Post Office, securing the future of local services without resorting to the failed closure programme which dominated Labour’s time in government.
The deal follows the Government’s other measures to protect Post Office services including additional funding, new local and national contracts, a successful piloting scheme to transform many local post offices and improvements in the services offered.
Commenting, Christopher Pincher said:
‘In opposition Conservatives campaigned tirelessly to overturn Labour’s cuts to our Post Offices, which saw them close over 6,500 in a decade – including three in our constituency. I was bitterly disappointed when the Borough Road, Hopwas and Stonnall offices closed. I do not want to see any more go. The Government’s announcement means the future of the Post Office is secured guaranteeing this valuable service for millions of people.’
