Returning to the subject of our local postal service, how many of the local
city or county councillors would support making the Headington PO in London
Road the automatic collection point for all parcels or other items not
successfully delivered to the door?
> At the moment it is a huge hassle having to go all the way to Sandy Lane just
because somebody has sent something with inadequate postage, or sent it
signed-for. Why should we have to pay 50p to have it sent to the local PO?
> The idea of changing it to something more convenient was discussed some time
back, but nothing came of it.
> Can we now please have the opinions of all our local councillors for or
against. If they are against, I would like to know why.
> If they are in favour, there may be some hope of putting pressure on the
Royal Mail.
> It is too late of course to lament the closure of the local sorting-office,
which has been sold off like so many of Britain's assets, so that we can afford
to rebuild bombed shrines in Iraq.
