Annette Brooke, MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole has launched a campaign to save our cheque following the decision by the banks to abolish the cheque by 2018.
Many national organisations have joined the campaign including Age UK, Which?, RNIB And The Federation of Small Businesses. All have grave concerns that the banks decision will hurt the most vulnerable, charities and many small businesses who rely on cheques.
Annette Brooke MP said "It is disgusting that a group with such vested interests in getting rid of cheques should be entrusted with this decision. I hope this petition will force the bank's to listen to the very serious concerns that many people have about this decision".
You can join the campaign to save our cheque by signing the petition below. You can also sign the petition below.
I/we, the undersigned, petition the Prime Minister to save our cheque by reminding the banks of their duty to serve the customer - and not vice versa The abolition of cheques, without an adequate alternative, will cause an inconvenience for small businesses, the charitable sector and many of the most vulnerable people in Britain.
Even if you've already signed this petition, you can use the printable petition sheet to collect more signatures from your friends and neighbours.
