They provide a first class service to the people of Stockport. We will fight to oppose any closure plans because the Stockport centre is part of the fabric of our community and one of the area's biggest employers. Our members do not deserve to lose their jobs and local people do not deserve to lose the high quality postal services they quite rightly expect''. A spokesman for Royal Mail said: "Following a review of its infrastructure in the North West, which focused on the buildings currently used for the processing and distribution of mail in and out of the region every day, Royal Mail has announced a number of options for changes designed to secure its future. The current mail centre network is not capable of providing and sustaining improvements to efficiency required for Royal Mail to meet the challenges of an open, competitive market in which mail volumes aredeclining."
