Councillors Kieran Quinn and Susan Quinn are both members of the Communication Workers Union. The Posties Union.

Over the years they have led many campaigns throughout Tameside against Post Office closures.

Kieran served for many years on the counter at Droylsden Post Office before it was franchised.

Recently alongside Cllr Jim Middleton they led the successful campaign to keep Edge Lane Post Office open against a concerted attempt by to close it.

As Cllr Kieran Quinn said "The Post Office is a national public service. It is cherished because it serves everyone in our community. Rich or poor, old or young. It delivers mail to every address in the UK.Everyone accepts the need to modernise the industry but this can be done without selling bits to the highest bidder. Indeed the plan to sell off part of Royal Mail to a foreign company is particularly appalling."

Thankfully 90% of the British public support our campaign and they have put immense pressure on all MPs to vote these daft ideas out. Indeed the latest news is that Lord Mandelson has already accepted his plan has failed and he is looking for a way out.
