I would just like to ask a little favour of the readers who pass by my blog, and that is to help me oppose the proposed closure of my local Post Office.
As many of you will be aware this unique 'British' establishment that serves our local communities has fallen foul of the unelected EU bureaucrats in Brussels. And our weak and cowardly government are allowing the continuing destruction of just such British institutions as that of our local Post Offices!
We cannot allow the closure of our local Post Office, it will mean the end of an easy and safe access that my mother and father have previously enjoyed and who have relied on this particular Post Office, not only to do their banking and such like, but also as a community gathering on certain days of the week, when they meet up with their neighbours and friends alike to discuss local topical issues and current affairs in general.
As one of two alternatives, if once again this proposed closure gets the go-ahead and that is either a walk of at least a couple of miles over a steep bridge and additionally will have to cross a busy major road to reach the next nearest Post Office. The thought of many of these elderly and infirm amongst us having to navigate that route is very worrying to say the least. The other alternative is a bus ride into Leigh town centre to the main Post Office, and many have expressed their anxiety of doing monetary transaction in a town centre that has seen a hugh spate of muggings in recent months mainly on the elderly, by individuals not indigenous to these lands! And that the authorities seem powerless to intervene.
So, If you can please copy and paste the brief objection letter below; to the following e-mail address I'd be very grateful. Thank you.
Dear Richard Lynds,
I would like to take this opportunity in objecting to the proposed closure of the Post Office on Manchester Road, Leigh, Lancashire WN7.
I find it totally unreasonable and unjust for the local community that such a proposal of closure should even be considered.
Yours objecting.
YOUR NAME
