Labour are failing to protect our local post offices

News that over 115 post offices across the country - including 8 in Westminster - has caused anger and dismay amongst local people.

We spoke to Westminster councillor Tony Devenish, outside one of the post offices threatened with closure. Tony explained

"The Labour government, Labour mayor and Labour Council have done nothing, absolutely nothing about the closure of your post offices.

"We're here next to Knightsbridge Green, which is being closed. Eccleston Street is also being closed.

"Come on, get off your backsides Labour, and make sure our post offices stay open."

Homelessness and rough sleeping is rising under Labour

The numbers are stark. Homelessness and rough sleeping in Westminster are at record highs and is the highest of any council in the UK. The Labour-led council has allowed this crisis to get worse, with near year-on-year increases, without proper support to help people off the streets. This is the reality of life under this Labour-led Council: distracted by pet projects and headlines instead of helping vulnerable people who really need it.
