This week I joinedlocal GLA candidate Caroline Pidgeon and Simon Hughes MP to present our petition to save Southwark Post Offices at the Post Office HQ. Its a vital service for so many and has a very important role as part of the local cluster of shops on Melbourne Grove and Grove Vale. The Lordship Lane alternative is not within easy walking distance for many people.
Hundreds have signed the petition and made their own representations. The council has also responded strongly. There was a vote in parliament to halt the programme but ‘local’ MP Tessa Jowell voted for the closure.
