Save Our Cheque Petition

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.

    If you are a resident of the constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
