Gipsy Hill councillors: Save our local Post Offices
Local Conservative councillors have campaigned vigorously against the closure of Gipsy Road Post Office and Central Hill Post Office.As well as collecting hundreds of signatures for petitions, they have sent submissions to the consultation, outlining their opposition to these plans.
Cllr Andrew Gibson says: "Closing these Post Offices will cut off access to postal services for local people in one of Lambeth's most deprived areas.
"Gipsy Hill ward has high numbers of residents with long term limiting illness, and the highest proportion of residents in the borough aged over 65, who are more dependent on Post Office services."
