East Hampshire Liberal Democrat District Councillors with PPC Dominic Martin
Help us secure the future of Alton Town Centre Post Office!
With the planned closure of TG Jones in Westbrook Walk early next year, Alton is also facing the loss of its town centre Post Office.
For many residents, including those with limited mobility and people without access to a car, a centrally located Post Office is an essential service. It is also important for our local businesses and the vitality of the High Street.
East Hampshire Liberal Democrats are working hard to call on Post Office Ltd to:
1. Commit to retaining a full-service Post Office in central Alton.
2. Find an accessible town centre location, particularly for residents who rely on public transport or have limited mobility.
3. Minimise or avoid any gap in services between the existing branch closing and a replacement opening.
We recognise that TG Jones is closing, but that should not mean Alton loses such an important town centre service.
Post Office Ltd is already exploring potential replacement arrangements. We want to demonstrate the strength of local support and encourage them to make securing a permanent, accessible town centre branch a priority.
Please add your name to the petition and share it with friends, family and neighbours.
