Carrington and New Lenton Post Office campaigners are staging a joint demonstration at 11am this Thursday 6 March meeting outside the lions in Market Square.
Our key aims for this demo are to get the local council to be more proactive by launching a judicial review and getting an injunction to prevent Carrington and New Lenton branches from closing [New Lenton is due to close this Friday, while Carrington is due to close next Tuesday]. Essex, Lincolnshire and Kent county councils are all launching judicial reviews while Nottingham City Council is still debating what to do - we simply don't have time to delay any longer and MUST ACT NOW!
The demonstration will also march to the Government's Office for the East Midlands in Talbot Street and present oversized letters to a representative [if they deign to come out!] asking for a judicial review and a meeting with Phil Hope, the new Minister for the East Midlands - he has so far declined our invitations.
Please try to come along as we need as many people there as possible, and bring a friend!
We're asking everyone to dress in black as we're going for a 'funeral' theme and please try to make one or two placcards and oversized letters to bring with you. Here is an example of an oversized letter, which would make a great media photo opportunity if we were to have many to hand over:

We're also keen for any customers that have mobility issues to attend if they are able as these are the people that will be most affected by the closures, so please invite anyone that you may know who might be interested in attending.
