Save Leigh Post Office campaign day

Cllr David Norman turned up to lend his support

It was a little chilly but that did not dampen the enthusiasm of those who attended the Save Leigh Post Office Campaign Day. Two hours of light snow, near-freezing temperatures, plenty of signatories to the petition, and many toots from passing motorists. This is an important campaign, and one I reckon can be won by people power.

A good crowd assembled by midday

I did not count all who attended the event, numbers that grew considerably during the two hours that it ran for. It was mostly Labour Party members, but we had Greens and at least one Tory, plus a media celebrity.

This is not a Labour campaign, but it is a campaign supported by Labour in Southend.
