Post Office Closure Campaign Continues

Since Post Office Ltd announced its plans to close five Post Offices across Havering, including our own Gobions Avenue branch in Chase Cross, your Residents Association has been working tirelessly to make sure as many people as possible know about the consultation and encouraging them to write in and object.

We have delivered thousands of leaflets across Chase Cross and Collier Row and we have been inundated with replies from residents who wish to be added to our petition, we have also been sent dozens of copies of letters that people have written.

The Residents Association in Collier Row has vowed to fight this closure programme to the bitter end, the Havering Park Action Team led by Cllr Andrew Mann and working with team members Denis Stevens and Kevin Tonks (pictured recently outside the shop) to work with residents to fight the closure plan.

Cllr Mann has also urged all local residents to write in during the consultation, petitions are great for gaining lots of numbers and looking good, but individual letters will have a far greater impact on the process, you should write to;

Anita Turner
Network Development Manager
C/O National Consultation Team
FREEPOST CONSULTATION TEAM
No stamp is needed.

You only have 6 weeks to write, all letters must be received by 2nd April. Please copy in Cllr Mann on your letters, you can send a copy via the Town Hall, or 380 Havering Road, Romford, Essex, RM1 4DE
