Submission Documents: By Councillor Jennifer Dunn:- "Council is opposed to Royal Mail's planned closure of the Cubie Street sorting office. Glasgow City Council is also concerned that Royal Mail's communication in relation to this issue, with elected representatives of all parties as well as the general public, has been very poor. Council agrees that the Chief Executive write to Royal Mail, to express concerns over the planned closure and to request that elected representatives, community councils and other interested parties are consulted over this and any other closure plans in Glasgow. Council also believes that there is a disparity between the need for consultation over the closure of post offices, but not Royal Mail sorting offices. Council agrees that the Chief Executive write to the relevant UK government minister to ask that legislation be amended, to make formal consultation over any planned Royal Mail closures affecting front line services in communities compulsory. Furthermore, Council approves the distribution of this letter to other councils in Scotland to highlight the issue." Help Icon
