It is time for Alan Bates to be honoured with a CBE or knighthood after former Post Office boss Paula Vennells handed back her CBE.

Alan Bates NEVER GAVE UP over a 20 year period fighting for justice for the postmasters in order to get a positive result. How many people have that level of focus, commitment and perseverance to do the right thing. Alan should be awarded with the highest awards available as recognition.
