I have been out and about in Thriplow this weekend leafletting every house about the threat to the Post Office. I also talked to people and listened to their views. I spoke to young people parking up their motorbikes, people coming back from work, mums at the doorstep, families, people out gardening and walking their dogs. Everyone thinks the proposal is crazy, will really impact on those who cannot drive out of the village, and they are all up for a fight to defend the Post Office: petitions, placards, the works. The general view is that the Post Office hasn't been given a chance to get going, after its closure, and this action by Post Office Ltd cannot be based on reliable figures about volumes.
There is a public meeting next Thursday, 25th September, at 8 pm in the Village Hall. I'm telling everyone I meet, and its on my info card.
