Don't RIP the heart out of ThRIPlow - campaign to save the Post Office

Just back from a planning session with the team of people in Thriplow working to put together the material that will be presented at a meeting with Post Office Counters managers this Thursday. The presentations include information on:

• analysis of the flaws in the data on which PO Counters made the decision to propose closure;
• the demographics of the village, such as its high OAP numbers;
• public transport paucity
  
• the dependency of the village shop (which sells excellent croissants!) on the income stream generated by the PO;
• there are so many businesses in Thriplow run from homes (consultants, architects, publishers, builders, farming supplies for example) that depend on the PO for various facilities.

The important thing is to get people writing their letters arguing against closure, and that needs to happen too, before the close of the consultation period!
