Elspeth Attwooll MEP and Jo Swinson discuss the proposed closure of Westerton Post Office with Mr Ansari

Jo Swinson welcomed Elspeth Attwooll MEP to East Dunbartonshire this week, and Elspeth was keen to visit the Post Offices threatened with closure to hear from local people how these closures would affect them.

Jo and Elspeth are pictured discussing the proposed closure of Westerton Post Office with Mr Ansari who runs the shop next door, and is concerned for the viability of the retails outlets nearby should Westerton Post Office close.

Jo said, "Post Offices often act as a hub for the community, and so their closure can have a devastating effect. The Government must recognise and act to support local Post Offices, instead of undermining them with its schemes to scrap the pension book."

    If you are a resident of the East Dunbartonshire constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
