Thank You to all those residents of both Aberavon and Neath Constituencies who have supported our Save the Post Offices Campaign over the past several months. Many of you replied to the campaign by adding your signatures to the Focus Leaflets and mailing them back to us.
This petition has now been handed into Downing Street by the Liberal Democrat Party's Post Offices Spokesperson, Sarah Tether MP.
Over 50,000 signatures were presented calling on Gordon Brown to STOP Labours's Post Office closure programme now.

Eleanor Burnham, AM, writes to the Daily Post (North Wales):
MARK Brittain is right to highlight the failure of North Wales' Labour MPs to vote to suspend Post Office closures, but that failure goes deeper than he describes.
In fact, not one Labour MP from anywhere in Wales even made a speech in the five hours of the debate! Had it not been for opposition MPs such as my colleague Mark Williams, Wales would not have featured in the debate at all.
If these Labour MPs are unable or unwilling to use either their vote or their voice to stand up for their constituents’ needs, what is the point of sending them to Westminster in the first place?
You may be interested in some literature that's going out in Bridgend claiming that the Lib Dems are behind the Post Office closures.
We'll be blamed for the Iraq war and Northern Rock next!
Such leaflets in Bridgend are a disgrace. Theres no other way to describe them!
With power comes responsibility. I understand that being in Government requires making tough decisions, we'd all agree on that, but whilst making those decisions you have to have the moral courage to defend them. By making decisions and then having the audacity to blame those who have actually fought tooth and nail to oppose that decision is, in my opinion, a dereliction of duty.
There's such a thing in politics (believe it or not) as fair play. But this? This, seriously scrapes the bottom of the barrel.
