John Leech MP Supports Save Our Newsagents Campaign

Another MP, Another Photo Opportunity

John Leech MP for Withington is one of the members of parliament who is supporting the campaign. He says:

'Traditional newsagents are the backbone of our community. They deliver a vital service and are a friendly face that many people rely on every day. It is shocking and unacceptable that so many newsagents face an uphill struggle to survive. I am happy to pledge my support to newsagents in Manchester Withington and across the UK. Across south Manchester local residents are still reeling from the closures of local post offices, so any loss of their newsagents would be devastating. I'm therefore pleased to have met with retailers and the National Federation of Retail Newsagents to look at ways that I can help locally and in parliament.'

Mr Leech has also said that he had signed the Early Day Motion 1424: NEWSPAPER AND MAGAZINE DISTRIBUTION MARKET. Total of 92 MPs have signed up so far. Not enough to make a difference.
