Gavin Barwell launches SIXTH campaign and this time he has Royal Mail in his sights

GAVIN Barwell has launched another campaign, in open defiance of the Advertiser's campaign to stop him launching campaigns.

Our Campaign to End All Campaigns began in December after the Croydon Central MP set up his fifth petition in little more than a month.

Our satirical efforts received national media attention and Mr Barwell and Advertiser editor Glenn Ebrey later debated the issue on live television.

After a short break the politician is back on the campaign trail, this time calling on Royal Mail to move its sorting office back into the town centre.

The delivery office in Cherry Orchard Road closed last year to make way for flats and was relocated to Factory Lane.

Mr Barwell's petition has already signed by more than 1,500 people.

He said: "I'm all in favour of them redeveloping the building next to East Croydon station, but they need to find a town centre location for the parcel collection office."

No campaign, no gain - Mr Barwell's petitions 

November 10 -  Opposes Labour council's plans to introduce selective licensing of landlords

November 18 - Launches campaign to stop council from building on school playing fields 

December 1 - Fights for a new entrance at East Croydon station

December 9 -  Launches campaign to protect green fields at bottom of Gravel Hill from development. 

December 16 - Sets up petition to stop council closing recycling centre in New Addingto

February 6 - Calls on Royal Mail to relocate sorting office 

Mr Barwell also met with Mayor of London Boris Johnson this week about the campaign - launched by Labour's Sarah Jones and Steve Reed - to get East and West Croydon moved from Zone 4 to Zone 5. 

An Advertiser spokesman said:
