These sites prove that Charles Clarke is the last person in Norwich who one would trust to defend our Post Offices.

EVENING NEWS Save our post offices

How closures will hit our communities LUCY BOLTON 20 March 2008

MP Charles Clarke, whose constituency is Norwich South, has said he is keen to save post offices in his constituency when that is the best solution, but has distanced himself from criticising the cuts. He added: “I don't think closing branches is a bad thing.”

NOW: contrast these facts with Clarke's extraordinary remarks on the front page article of today's EVENING NEWS:

Charles Clarke, MP for Norwich South, said: “I strongly support the campaigns against the closures of Vauxhall Street and Rosary Road [Post Offices] and I'm glad that there is such a strong demonstration of support from people in Norwich.”

...We in Norwich Green Party say that Mr. Clarke is misleading the public. His record proves that he is NOT against the closure of post offices. He is, not to mince words, lieing about his views on Post Office closures, for the sake of local popularity at election time.

The only Party that can be trusted not to close Norwich Post Offices is the Green Party. We actually believe in local services. [It's called 'localisation': it's the opposite of globalisation.]
