Liberal Democrats are concerned about Post Office Closures
|
Welcome to the website for South East Cambridgeshire Liberal Democrats - In July we found out about where the Post Office closures are projected to happen. In this area, Ely, Soham and Impington will all lose a Post Office. The consultation period is running but please sign our petitions to show your opposition to the closures.
If you would like to help us campaign against Post Office closures in South East Cambridgeshire, email us.
At the general election in 2005 the Liberal Democrats increased our vote by almost 4,000 votes, and pushed Labour into a poor third place. Locally, where we are not already holding seats, the Liberal Democrats are in clear second place. South East Cambridgeshire and South Cambs District Council are two-horse races - only the Liberal Democrats can beat the Conservatives here.
