Many people in the village have signed a petition at the Post Office in protest to the threat of closure. At present our Post Office is safe – well, reasonably safe. Decisions will be made according to the level of use. Each visit to the Post Office is recorded to assess how often people use it. It does not help if you save up six transactions for one visit – that is recorded as one use. Much better, if you have the time, to do them singly and that would count as six visits!
In addition to all the usual Post Office/Royal Mail services, our Post Office offers paying-in facilities for accounts held with Barclays, Lloyds, Smile, Cahoot, Alliance and Leicester and the Co-Op banks. You can also take cash out free of charges. You can buy home insurance (with savings up to 40%), car insurance and arrange a personal loan. There is a new Post Office credit card available.
For holidays and travel, you can order all currencies and travel cheques (no commission charged) and buy a year’s travel insurance for any number of breaks for £50. This includes insurance for those over 65.
Our Post Office is open from 9.00am to 5.30pm Monday to Fridays and from 9.00am to 12.30pm on Saturdays. Do use it (as often as possible) so that we don’t lose it.
