Local Liberal Democrats across south London are gearing up to fight the latest government threat to Lambeth's post offices.

Post Office Ltd has announced that it is proposing to close branches all across South London including in Vauxhall. Lambeth post offices threatened with closure in Vauxhall include those at Acre Lane, Vauxhall Street and Clapham High Street, as well as Abbeville Road nearby in Clapham.

Local Liberal Democrats are campaigning to reduce overcrowding on the 381 and C10 bus services in Rotherhithe.

Surrey Docks Lib Dem councillors last year campaigned for TfL to introduce a rail replacement bus service between Canada Water and Rotherhithe stations that would stop to pick up passengers along the route. TfL agreed to the replacement bus, but have angered local residents by refusing to collect passengers between the two stations.

Caroline joined Lib Dem Parliamentary campaigner Bridget Fox in Islington early in January to deliver newsletters, highlighting the hard work of local Lib Dem councillors and some of the negative impact the Labour Government is having on the lives of many residents in Islington.

A leaked letter, obtained today by local Lib Dems, has revealed that the Government is so scared of public reaction to its post office closure plans that it will delay plans to close more of them in Lambeth until next May’s London Mayor and Assembly elections are over.
