GREENHOLM POST OFFICE TO CLOSE


Sadly the Post office Counters Limited are to close the Greenholm Road Post Office, despite residents backing its retention. The Post Office seem to have just paid lip service to their claim to consult with residents.
It is also sad that all the Local Councillors in the area, could not have worked together as one to oppose the closure of this post Office.
Big business, Local Councils and local residents must learn from the current round of Post Office closures and start using Post office services more, otherwise more Post Offices could be at risk one day.
I have also asked the Post office Services limited to ensure the increase in trade, other Post Offices will have as a result of neighbouring Post Offices closing, is monitored and allowed for. We do not want to see even longer queues forming out side the remaining Post Offices.
