Commenting on the news that Royal Mail plans to close the mail sorting office in Stockport and transfer services to Manchester, Hazel Grove MP, Andrew Stunell said:
"I am bitterly disappointed at the loss of Stockport's sorting office.
"This looks likely to lead to further delays on delivery with mail being redirected via Manchester, which would be a massive inconvenience for local businesses and residents.
"Royal Mail claim that this will improve their competitiveness but the risks of further delays to an already creaking postal system are more likely to undermine it than to build it up."
