Another Post Office to Close?

You do not need a long memory to remember when there was a Post Office in Bush Hall Parade and soon, if Post Office Limited succeeds in doing the Government's bidding Sunnymede Post Office in Greens Farm Lane will be nothing but a memory too. In a bureaucratic exercise, shrouded in secrecy, they have fingered this vital community facility for closure, irrespective of whether it makes a profit, or whether the people who live in that area make use of it. Hard facts: Nationally there are 4 million less post office customer visits every week than 2 years ago (a 14% reduction). After 2,500 Post Offices have been closed (the Government target for this programme), there will still be 11,700. There are 2 other Post Offices within one mile of the Sunnymede Post Office. But does this Post Office have to be one of the 2,500 to be closed? It is a long uphill walk from Outwood Common to the High Street. It's over a hill to South Green. But there's a bus every half-hour. If you use the Sunnymede Post Office, what will it mean to you if it is closed? You have until November 19^th to write to Post Office Limited and tell them. Do it now. The address is just FREEPOST CONSULTATION TEAM or e-mail consultation@postoffice.co.uk
