Aug 28 2008 by David Himelfield, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

COLNE Valley Tory candidate Jason McCartney has posted a video on You Tube protesting about post office closures.

He interviewed staff and customers at Holmbridge Post Office, which is one of nine in the Holme and Colne valleys threatened with closure.

The former BBC journalist and Calendar presenter hopes the video, posted on the internet, will encourage more people to sign the petition in the branch.

Mr McCartney hopes customers will write to Consultation Team Freepost. To see the five-minute film visit www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENA--xWoYxE
