Keep a Post Office on London Road, Brighton

This petition was published by Brighton and Hove Green Party on Jan 10, 2011

We the undersigned call on Post Office Ltd to abandon it's plans to relocate the London Road branch post office to Preston Road.

The proposed new location:

1. Is distant from the busy London Road and North Laine areas that the current branch serves;

2. Will be difficult to access on foot due its position north of the busy Preston Circus junction.

3. Lies away from many of the city–wide major bus routes that access London Road;

4. Is too far from the London Road car park and offers little and difficult parking on this busy, two lane, one–way thoroughfare;

5. Will be particularly difficult for older people, parents with children and those with disabilities to access.

6. May not be economically viable - a previous post office opposite was closed in 2008.

7. With the combination of partners retail sales area, the space for postal services and queuing customers may prove inadequate.

Furthermore closing the London Road office may well have a serious detrimental impact on the economic vitality of London Road, It will also compound the deterioration in service which resulted from the 2008 post office closures across the city.

We ask that Post Office Ltd instead seek an alternative location on London Road.
