Lib Dems Demand Council Acts to Save Post Offices
Bedford Borough council should act to save local post offices from closure, say Liberal Democrats. Bedford Borough Lib Dems have demanded that the Mayor and his Cabinet do more than simply oppose closures and take real action to save vital branches ahead of the announcement in July of the list of local post offices in the set to be shut. The calls follow news of a range of plans by other local authorities to save threatened branches from the government's programme of 2,500 post office closures, including taking over the running of post offices.
