Post Office Closures

Southampton Liberal Democrats voiced their deep concern about the closure of 10 sub post offices across the City last year. Liberal Democrats feel the loss of the branches causes severe problems particularly for older and disabled people, and those without their own transport.

The Liberal Democrats have always attached high importance to post offices, as one of the corner stones of our communities. The Liberal Democrats have made strenuous representations to support local communities, asking the Post Office to reconsider these proposals.

We are also concerned to learn about the threat of closure of Crown Post Offices in the City and the complete lack any real Government plan to stop the long decline of this important network.

Labour's plans threaten more post office closures.

Southampton's Lib Dems take the fight for your Post Offices directly to No.10.

Twin Bin Recycling Scheme

• Waste Collection Charges Forced up!

• Recycling Rates Forced Down!

• Residents Opinion Poll Ignored!

Labour Breaks Promise

Having forced a stop to the City rollout of the alternate weekly waste collection system in February 2004, Labour had promised to abide by the result in a review. However, when a MORI Poll showed that overwhelming majority of residents backed the system, Labour claimed the findings were invalid.

Tories Rubbish Residents' Poll

The Tories also rejected the findings, although some of them had helped to draw up the MORI Poll questions.
