Save the Post Office network
Liberal Democrats in Chelmsford and nationally have been campaigning to save the local Post Office network for many years. (See Cllr. Tom Smith-Hughes and Cllr. Stephen Robinson in the photo.) Now in Government, Lib Dems have put in place plans that will protect and develop the Post Office network. See here.
Thousands closed under both Conservative and Labour governments. Here in Chelmsford that includes Broomfield; Duke Street; Kings Road; Queens Road; Trent Road; and one in Great Baddow.
On 17 May 2007 Labour announced the closure of a further 2,500 Post Offices around the country. In April 2007, the Post Office announced plans to transfer Chelmsford's main Post Office to W H Smith
