Rendel demands action to cut waiting times at Newbury Post Office
March 31, 2005 10:32 AM
David Rendel MP has written to the Chair of the Royal Mail to protest at
lengthening queues and waiting times at Newbury Post Office in Cheap
Street.
"This has only happened because several local Post Offices have been
closed", he said.
"Local people were promised that they could all easily be accommodated
in the Central Post Office. This has proved not to be the case.
"People are waiting for 20 minutes or more to be served. Many are
spending their entire lunch hour waiting. This is completely
unacceptable - particularly if elderly people are forced to wait outside
in the cold.
"Having ignored our warnings about the closure programme, the least the
Post Office can do now is open more counters for business at their Cheap
Street branch."
