Let’s keep politics out of battle to save post office
• THE number of letters you have published indicates clearly how strongly many people feel about the threatened closure of Essex Road post office (A bit late for MP to enlist in campaign to save post office, January 25). Because I live in north Islington I do not use this branch, but our Pensioners’ Forum supports the demand on behalf of our hundreds of members living in south Islington.
Our charity is non-political, and the maintenance of a full network of post offices should not be a political issue. They serve a wide variety of people from all parties. So our Forum gladly supports Bridget Fox’s campaign to prevent the closure of the Essex Road branch, and also that of Islington South MP Emily Thornberry, however belated it may be. > more |
