Consultation Team Took Notice
I am so pleased to hear that the news about Warley Hill post office is true and the decision has been made to keep it open.The decision paper on the Post Office website shows that the Post Office consultation team took notice of the points I made to them in my objection letter regarding the wrong address (it was listed as Warley Road not Warley Hill) and the fact that it is not level terrain to the town centre as they claimed. These issues were clearly fundamental to the final decision.

Liberal Democrat leader shows his support for the child poverty targets
The Campaign to End Child Poverty warmly welcomes the fact that Nick Clegg's first formal meeting was on child poverty, where he stated it reflected a "deliberate decision to start bluntly with children". He made clear in the meeting his personal commitment to achieving the child poverty targets. We look forward to seeing how Liberal Democrat policies will lead to meeting the 2010 and 2020 child poverty targets, to make a real difference to the 3.8m children currently living in poverty.
