SUPPLEMENT TO THE VOTES AND PROCEEDINGS

PETITION FROM MRS CAROLINE GIBBS AND OTHER CUSTOMERS OF CREATON POST OFFICE

18th December 2006

To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled.

The Humble Petition of Mrs Caroline Gibbs and other customers of Creaton Post Office,

Sheweth

That the sub post office in Creaton, Northamptonshire provides a vital service to the local community, but that its future is threatened by uncertainty over the continuation of Her Majesty's Government's subsidy for rural post offices beyond 2008 and the abolition of the Post Office Card Account for 2010.

Wherefore your Petitioners pray that your Honourable House calls upon Her Majesty's Government to make an early announcement that it will continue its subsidy for rural post offices beyond 2008 and that it will reverse its announcement to abolish the Post Office Card Account in 2010.

And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray, &c.
