Our Campaign Aims & Achievements

The Save Carrington Post Office Action Group has the following aims:
  • To save Carrington Post Office [of course!]
  • To raise awareness of the proposed Post Office closures
  • To encourage as many people as possible to write letters to Post Office, PostWatch and John Heppell, MP
And here is what we have achieved in just four weeks:
  • Collected 3,500 signatures in a petition
  • Designed and delivered 5,000 leaflets via street handouts, letterbox drops and demos
  • Created and postitioned five banners and various posters
  • Generated three news articles and one feature in Nottingham Evening Post, three news slots on Trent Radio, two news slots on East Midlands Today and one news slot on BBC Radio Nottingham
  • Facilitated the largest mail bag of post received by John Heppell, MP about any previous Post Office closure ever
  • Held three demos outside Carrington Post Office which attracted a total of over 100 people and our local MP and some councillors
  • Had inter-residents associations support between Carrington, Sherwood Rise and Mapperley Park
...and we're not finished yet! One week to go till 12 November deadline
