A Numbers Game

Filed under: Uncategorized — Penny Roberts @ 12:35 pm

Remember we saved the school with a deluge of letters that left the powers that be in no doubt as to it’s importance to our community.  The same applies, in spades, to our Post Office.  Write write write…… please!

 Note that the number of people in the village who are reaching their 80’s and 90’s is increasing and while at present over 5% of the population can’t drive that proportion will increase with time! 

The ‘People’s Post Office’ should be for the whole community including those in rural areas.  We have lost our village bobby with the result that petty crime and vandalism does occur in even the nicest p;aces, our village parson, a force for good is known no more, our Docter has decamped, the rural bus service is a farce,  and the only bastion of community where we are known by face and not by number is our Post Office and village shop.  As with the school there is a predisposition against closure if it is the only retail outlet in the village and yet what do they propose doing these people of the Post Office, why close it of course. 

WE MUST NOT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT - PROTEST NOW
