IN reply to T Reynolds regarding the closure of our post offices, I would like to tell him that as soon as I read the report in the Advertiser about the closure and that there was a question mark about Beechcroft, I rang MP Michael Wills.

I received a response within 48 hours, informing me he had contacted the post office and was told the meeting was (as reported in the Advertiser) on August 12.

Why didn't other people contact their MPs?

I realise it is not always possible for MPs to solve all our problems but at least give them the opportunity to try.
