Further erosion of postal service

I don't think the closure of Oxford Mail Centre will make any difference to
delivery or parcel collection - as far as I can see the East Oxford Delivery
office in Sandy Lane will remain operating just as before, it's just the Mail
Centre on the corner of Hollow Way/Garsington Road that'll close.
The Royal Mail is claiming that the extra time taken to transport post from
Oxford to Swindon will be more than counterbalanced by the improved sorting
technology at the new Swindon mail centre (and, to read between the lines, they
seem to be hoping that their Swindon workforce won't go on strike quite so
often).
