RURAL POST OFFICES

I'm being a bit prolific today on the press release front...

Iain Dale, Conservative Parliamentary Spokesman for North Norfolk today welcomed an Opposition Day debate in the House of Commons tomorrow (Tuesday) which will highlight the plight of rural Post Offices.

Iain Commented: "North Norfolk's rural communities depend on their local post offices. They are part of the living soul of village life and this Government's treatment of them is a scandal. Labour doesn't even pretend to understand the needs of rural areas and their plans to close yet more rural post offices signal another nail in the coffin for village life. I am pleased that my colleagues in Parliament are using a day's debate in the House of Commons to bring this issue to the fore. Henry Bellingham, MP for North West Norfolk, is playing a leading role in the debate and will be using examples from his own constituency to highlight the plight of the village Post Office."
