Labour silencing postmasters over closures

October 23, 2007 12:39 PM

Following on from the devastating news that Labour plans to close 4 more Post Offices in Ipswich it has been revealed that the staff of some of the post officers have been written to in order to silence them.

The letter from 'Postwatch' (the government agency tasked with shutting 2,500 post offices for labour) to postmasters threatens to reduce any compensation payments to them if they talk about possible closure of their post office.

It seems labour wants to stifle any real contribution from the people who know during this 'consultation' period.
