Post Office closures announced in Dundee

Posted by alangdundee on May 28, 2008

The Scottish Socialist Party is opposed to any reductions in this vital
service.

In many cases, where cuts are made, the elderly and infirm may be
forced to travel considerable distances to their nearest branch. At
best they will face upheaval to their regular routines.

We should not just meekly accept the Post Office bosses’ decision. By
organising and resisting closures we can retain these community assets
for ourselves and future generations.

It is clear that the demand for the service still remains. Within two
weeks, at a time when cuts remained a distant threat, our stalls
collected hundreds of signatures against these unnecessary closures.

We stand in support of a service for people, not profit.

Closures announced for Dundee:

  • Fairmuir, Clepington Road
  • Ferry Rd, 82 Broughty Ferry Road
  • Monikie, Panmure Road, Monikie, Broughty Ferry
  • Lochee, 156 Lochee Road
  • Nethergate, 123 Nethergate
