Post Office Ltd have put the Thriplow Post Office on the list of possible closures - and there is six weeks to defend it. The crazy thing is that the Post Office and the village stores really are the centre of things, especially as they are run by a consortium of villagers who give up their time to staff the counters. Post Office Ltd trained up a postmistress earlier in the year - and now are looking to close down! So just when we thought rural communities could breathe after seeing off the Hanley Grange threat, here we are again!
County councillor for ten Cambridgeshire villages: Pampisford, Ickleton, Duxford, Fowlmere, Gt Abington, Thriplow, Whittlesford, Little Abington, Babraham, Hinxton. District councillor for the communities of Whittlesford, Heathfield and Thriplow.
