Postal petition signed by 16,000
Coventry sorting office
Six hundred people work at the Coventry sorting office
More than 16,000 people have signed a petition to keep Coventry's postal sorting office open.

Royal Mail wants to close its Bishop Street office, where 600 people work, and relocate it to Northamptonshire.

Campaigners are now hoping to double the petition signatures in the next month before handing it to the city's MPs at Westminster.

Royal Mail has said it does not know the exact location of the new centre or when the move would take place.
