I am very disappointed by Sajid Javid’s refusal to meet me to discuss the privatisation of Muswell Hill and Crouch End Crown Post Offices.

The campaign to save these post offices goes beyond an emotional attachment to traditional ‘crown post offices’. It is about ensuring that that our post offices have a secure, long-term future and indeed that the people who worked have worked there for decades share in that security.

Franchising and relocating our Post Offices in Muswell Hill & Crouch End will put jobs at risk and will certainly impact upon local residents’ ability to access these key services, particularly if they are older, less mobile or disabled.
