Katy was also joined by Robert Brown MSP, Cllr Mary Paris, the Postmaster, Mr Mohammed and local residents. Following interviews with the press, Katy led local residents and her party colleagues in a timed walk to Anniesland Post Office to demonstrate the difficulty in getting to the next nearest post office if closure of Kelvindale goes ahead.

Kelvindale Branch is a busy and profitable post office. The Post Office asked the owner, Mr Mohammed to take on the branch only 18 months ago, after the previous branch in the local Spar shop closed 7 months previously. Local residents have strongly backed the Liberal Democrat campaign against closure, returning fliers, signing petitions and writing to Post Office Ltd.

Katy commented:

“I am delighted that the local community has backed the campaign by coming out today. There were many more residents who would have liked to join us who couldn’t manage the walk, which took nearly half an hour over some steep streets. Nicol was pleased to come and show the party across the country is totally against this ill thought out closure programme.”
