He said that if you didn't want your post office to close you should write to them and explain what impact the closure would have on you - that's what will carry the weight ... or so he claimed.

It also asserts that there is parking availble at Histon - not very often there isn't! It ignores the future needs and opportunities that will arise from the Guided bus being adjacent to the Impington Post Office, and the Environmental and traffic impact of moving all the customers to alternative Post Offices. Every user should raise these points by emailing to - I have.
