The following motion has been received in accordance with Procedure Rule 16: 22.1 The following motion has been received from Councillor Alan Mosley: "This Council condemns the proposas to close the Royal Mail Sorting Office in Shrewsbury which will result in work being relocated outside of the County and the Mid Wales Area. We believe that closing the office will cause great hardship not only to the people who work there, whose jobs are under threat, but to their families and their communities. We also beleive that the proposed closure will adversely impact on local businesses and local residents by reducing the quality and accessibility of the services provided by Royal Mail and will not show our Town as being business friendly and hence will inhibit inward investment. Furthermore we fear that the loss of so many jobs, associated investment and the business related to the Sorting Office will be a further significant blow to the overall economic wellbeing of Shrewsbury. We will therefore urgently seek to organise activities among all intersted parties so as to maximise and coordinate opposition to the proposals during the consultation period."
