Andrew Percy and local Councillors John Berry, Carl Sherwood and Nigel Sherwood, have slammed the decision to include Wrawby on the list of Post offices threatened with closure as part of the Government's closure programme.

Andrew explains, "We thought when Labour's closure list was announced in October, that Wrawby was safe. Then out of the blue it was added on to the list last week. That takes the total number of Post Offices scheduled for closure in this constituency to 6.

The local Councillors and I wasted no time getting on the doorstep in Wrawby to gather people's views. We have made sure that everyone in the village has the opprtunity to let the Post Office know their feelings on this important matter. If this closure is confirmed, local residents will have to go to Brigg to use the Post Office. They will also have to pay the new parking charges introduced by the Labour Council in November, so it's a double whammy for Wrawby residents."

Gordon Brown's Labour MP for Brigg and Goole has supported the Government's closure programme in Parliament and residents have not been fooled by his crocodile tears on this issue.
