Local councillors Grace Goodlad, Chris Maines and Jenny Powell have launched a local "Don't KO the PO" petition.

Chris Maines said; "The Post Office is set to close a huge number of Sub Post Offices. The Liberal Democrats are fighting to save this essential service to the local community."

Jenny Powell said; "Many local pensioners have told me how upset they will be at losing the 328 Court Road Sub Post Office, which is a hub of the community"

Grace Goodlad added; "Young families will also be hit, local mums have complained that they will have to trek into Orpington to pick up their family allowance."
