Yesterday's list of potential closures includes Cricklewood, Kilburn, Harlesden and Kingsbury.
The fightback has started with Cricklewood:
Cllr Tariq Dar on Next Door:
Cricklewood post office is at risk. The potential closure of Cricklewood Post Office has spurred strong and immediate opposition among local councils and residents. Representatives from the Tri-Borough areas, Brent, Barnet, and Camden, along with Cricklewood residents, are forming a dedicated campaign group to advocate for the post office’s continued operation at Cricklewood Broadway.
Meetings are already underway to discuss campaign strategies, including drafting letters to Post Office executives and organizing a public awareness effort. This coordinated response emphasizes the community’s reliance on the post office for essential services and underscores a commitment to keep it accessible. Community members are encouraged to stay engaged and support upcoming initiatives, as further details will be shared soon on the campaign’s progress.
This proactive approach draws on past successes in defending the post office and reflects a unified stance against closures that could impact vulnerable groups and local businesses. Watch for updates, and consider joining the campaign to support this vital effort.

Chippenham Gardens Post Office in Brent was closed to re-develop with the planning decision being that local people should go elsewhere. However, a year later a new Post Office was re-opened directly opposite the demolished Post Office in the Victorian shop terrace. The period with no Post Office not recommended.
The comments and posturing by Labour Councillors is laughable.
Was there not "strong and immediate" opposition to the proposals from the Labour Council to CLOSE half of Brent's Libraries a few years back. The local community was "very engaged" at the time and a very strong case was made to keep Libraries "accessible".
Did the Labour Councillors running Brent listen? Of course not - Labour closed 6 local Libraries anyway.
Now they will know what it feels like being at the mercy of decision makers who simply do not care about the impact closing an important service has on a local community.
Yes they are fake
