Village rallies to fight post office closure
MORE than 300 villagers have crammed into a South Lakeland hall in a show of unity and defiance against plans to close their post office.
Angered by Post Office Ltd's announcement that it intends to close the Greenodd branch - as part of a national cost-cutting programme - 340 people met in the Greenodd Village Hall at 7.30pm tonight to support the sub-post masters in their fight against closure.
Janet Willis, sub-post master at Greenodd Post Office, and Tim Farron, MP for Westmorland and Lonsdale addressed the crowd, asking for their support. Their speeches, and calls to join a campaign against the closure, were met with rapturous applause.
