Hey Mr Postman: Post Office Closure Rethink Announced
Further to previous posts, the results of the Post Office consultation on planned closures have been announced. The
proposals for closure of all three post offices in Walthamstow have
been put to "further review". We don't know as yet what this will mean
in terms of alternative proposals for our service and the timescale is
as unclear. But, from the feedback we've had, I understand that the
concerns raised by local residents, including those over queues at the
central post office and its ability to cope, were key in this re-think.
Thank you to everyone who took part in the campaign - we will fight on
to make sure Walthamstow has the post office service it needs. It does
show that campaigning can be effective! I'll keep updating readers of this blog with
details of the next stage of this process as and when I get them. You can read how the local paper covered this here.
