We too have had a Central P.O. close down, which I can’t understand, because it is sort of attached to our Central library! They moved the P.O. to a nearby shop, the whereabouts of which I am uncertain.

So my thinking is, if they have closed the PO what about the library? Do they care? Not a jot. They want to redevelop the shopping mall opposite and grab the land attached, cutting down a line of lime trees, closing the children’s playground, build a monstrosity of a tower block, build another entrance to the Victoria Line, and generally piss off all the residents!!!!

It came as quite a shock to hear that it is to be closed and all postal services to be moved into W H Smith!!! Apparently the council want to use the Post Office building and have even begun redeveloping the land behind it already.

Typical.

Everything else in recession and the council wants to expand!

HI Jazzi. That's a good description. I believe the P.O. is in a shop just along from McDonalds in the main road now.

They did the same with the post office in Bournemouth some time ago.
Tourists buy cards or have letters to post and there isn't even a post box to be found. They think we are all mad to put up with being pushed around.

And then they have the cheek to moan that people do not use the postal services enough!

Perhaps we could sell off the Royal Mail to some foreign company.

After all, we've sold off just about everything else.
