Royal Mail urged to re-think Bilston office closure
The Royal Mail has been urged to re-think its decision to close a delivery office in Bilston by an MP who says it will have a "major impact" on locals.
Workers will be moved to the main offices at Sun Street in Wolverhampton from February as part of a move to centralise services. The base in Wombourne will also close.
The final decision was announced earlier this month following a consultation period with staff but MP Pat McFadden, whose constituency includes Bilston, has now written to Royal Mail bosses calling on them to reconsider.
The Labour MP said if the decision can't be reversed then arrangements should be made to allow residents to collect parcels from Bilston rather than having to travel into Wolverhampton city centre.
