Your local Conservatives are leading the campaign against the Government's plans to close post offices in Uttlesford and Writtle. The Post Office has decided to close the post-offices at Rowntree Way in Saffron Walden, at Quendon, at Mole Hill Green, at Little Hallingbury Village Hall and at Howe Street near Chelmsford.

To the House of Commons

The Petition of the residents of Uttlesford & Writtle,

Declares that the Petitioners are extremely concerned about the threat to close the post-offices at Rowntree Way in Saffron Walden, at Quendon, at Mole Hill Green, at Little Hallingbury Village Hall and at Howe Street near Chelmsford.

Further declares that Post Offices are at the heart of rural and many urban communities. Post Offices offer vital services to some of the most vulnerable people in the community, including those on low wages, unemployed and the elderly who will suffer most if Post Offices are closed.

Further declares that the Government has persistency undermined our Post Office network over a number of years. Ministers have prevented the Post Office competing in the market by penalising them and instead playing to the high street bank network, by seeking to withdraw the Post Office Card Account, and by preventing Post Offices selling TV Licenses and other products to keep them competitive.

Further declares that offering compensation to Post Masters and Mistresses is no substitute for what they and communities want which is a strong, competitive Post Office, supported and not undermined by the Government.

The Petitioners therefore call on the House of Commons to urge the Government to stop action which will lead to the immediate closures of our Post Offices and urgently review funding for Post Offices and the services offered by them to enable Post Offices to continue to serve as a cornerstone of the community for individuals, business and the most vulnerable in society.

I am disabled and it will be impossible to use the Main Post Office in Saffron Walden, because of the distance and the length of the queues. The Rowntreee Way Post Office is essential for the local community.

Reducing the service is a sure way to further threaten the economic viability of the remaining offices, as the general population learns that they cannot rely on the Post Office network, and seeks other ways of fulfilling their needs.

Closing Rowntree Way will mean more trips into town with a car, more cruising around looking for a partking place.

Rowntree Way Post Office provides a vital service for the whole community of Saffron Walden, not just those living inclose proximity.

Running a business from home as I do and frequent user of it's services, (several time a week) I would be extremely inconvenienced if I had to resort to travelling to the town to use the main post office there. I and many others would be tempted to use our cars more if it were necessary to resort to using the town post office, which is surely what the government is trying to discourage? It also seems, that at the same time as the government is encouraging more and more housing to be built, our services are being reduced and diminished.
