I awoke to pouring rain and gales on Saturday morning. But the planned Post office march I had organised was going ahead whatever the weather. I was delighted to see at least 70 people turn out to brave the weather to show their support for their local Post offices. In July the Post Office Ltd will announce up to 40 Post office closures in Cornwall. No-one yet knows who is on the list. A Conservative government started the closures and it has continued under Labour.
I know that the modern world means new ways of paying benefits and the use of the internet means forms can be downloaded. But why oh why not look at how services can be delivered straight to the community by using these Post offices?
It was great to see children on the March along with grandparents. Cars were hooting and people waving on the buses showing their support for our campaign. The atmosphere was great - like a carnival.
I would also like to thank Ally who was our very helpful police lady.
