Fred Mackintosh and Mike Pringle want to protect post offices from Labour's cuts

Help build the case to save our local post offices, buy completing Fred Mackintosh's post office users survey.

Post Office managers are working out which local post offices will close as part of Labour's promised 2,500 post office closures. The public consultation on the closure programme here will start on 21 July 2008. You can help make the case for our local post office network by completing our post office users survey.

"Post Office officials told us that the wishes of Sub Postmasters will not be considered." said Liberal Democrat campaigner Fred Mackintosh "Labour should be trying to protect and expand the Post Office network not close it down"

The results will be combined with surveys included in the Merchiston Citizen, Marchmont Citizen, Fairmilehead Focus and Liberton and Gilmerton Focuses delivered by Liberal Democrat volunteers to thousands of local people over the next few weeks.
