We call on the Post Office to reconsider plans that threaten the closure of our town centre Post Office in Stockport.

This essential branch serves as a hub for our community, providing convenient access to postal, banking, and other services. For residents without easy access to transportation and for local businesses, this Post Office is indispensable.

The proposed changes, part of a broader "cost reduction" strategy, may prioritise short-term savings but ignore the long-term impact on our community. Without it, residents will face significant inconvenience, and businesses will lose a crucial resource.

This potential closure is not just about cutting costs; it’s about cutting a lifeline for our community. A retail partner may not offer the same dedicated services or accessibility, especially in areas like Stockport, where our town centre Post Office is a cornerstone for thousands of people.

We urge the Post Office to:

• Re-evaluate this decision and consider the community impact over cost-cutting.

• Maintain the Stockport town centre Post Office as a Crown Post Office with dedicated staff.

• Protect jobs that serve the Stockport community and provide specialised support to those who need it.

Let’s come together to ensure that Stockport keeps its town centre Post Office. It’s more than a service; it’s a necessity. Please sign this petition to keep our Post Office open and accessible for all.
