Select Committee on Business and Enterprise Written Evidence


Letter from Andrew Robathan MP

  Thank you for your letter of 6 December about Post Office closures. There is one Post Office scheduled for closure in Arnesby, where I used to live.

  Local people are unhappy about this and as far as I am aware nobody consulted anybody before announcing the proposal. Arnesby is at least two miles from the nearest other Post Office—probably in Fleckney—and there are people there who do not have access to motor transport.

  There has been no consultation yet, although I expect there will be some. I regret to say that I do not expect any consultation to have any chance of changing the decision, if past experience is anything to go by.

7 December 2007
