I wish to present a petition about the imminent closure of the post office on Uxbridge High Street. With no plans for an alternative provision, this has left many of my constituents devastated, especially those vulnerable people in my constituency who rely on this vital service. Over various community petitions, led by Tony Burles, Masoud Dildar and Trust Phenyo, more than 1,000 residents have called for action to be taken by the council and the Post Office to secure a site, which shows just how much this means to the people of Uxbridge.
The petition states:
“The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to put pressure on the Post Office to provide an alternative post office site in Uxbridge before closing its existing branch.
And the petitioners remain, etc.”
Following is the full text of the petition:
[The petition of residents of the United Kingdom,
Declares that an alternative Post Office site must be provided on Uxbridge High Street before its planned closure in June.
The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to put pressure on the Post Office to provide an alternative Post Office site on Uxbridge High Street before closing its existing branch.
And the petitioners remain, etc.]

The people of Redbourn have spoken loud and clear. This petition, which has been signed by 1,427 residents, rejects the top-down, developer-led planning approach by this Government, which could see the village of Redbourn increased by 70%. Residents are not opposed to housing, but they are rightly alarmed by the burden placed on their community, including on infrastructure, and they are deeply frustrated by the lack of meaningful voice in shaping the proposals that will define their village for generations to come. From top-down targets to grey-belt policy, community voices have been diminished.
The petition states:
“The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to schedule a debate in the House of Commons on the Government review of the National Planning Policy Framework and how villages like Redbourn can be protected from over-development, and local communities given real power over planning decisions and infrastructure provision that affect the lives of village residents.”
Following is the full text of the petition:
[The petition of residents of Redbourn and the surrounding area,
Declares that Redbourn village faces large-scale development proposals driven by national planning law pushing development onto green and grey-belt land; further declares that government policy is having a detrimental impact on Redbourn village’s character and environment.
The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to schedule a debate in the House of Commons on the Government review of the National Planning Policy Framework and how villages like Redbourn can be protected from over-development , and local communities given real power over planning decisions and infrastructure provision that affect the lives of village residents.
And the petitioners remain, etc.]
