They don't even know which post offices they're closing!
I've just heard that the Post Office branch in Fulham Road, which the Post Office claims in its closure consultation notices is "in your area" as an alternative if they shut the Lower Richmond Road and Putney Bridge Road branches - is also being closed.London Labour Mayor Ken Livingstone is already seeking a judicial review of the Post Office's consultation on the grounds that it is of insufficient length (among other arguments) - so, if correct, the fact that the Post Office are also publishing incorrect information and don't even seem to know which branches they're attempting to close can only strengthen this case.
A quick update: I received over 140 response cards today alone, so thank you so much to everyone who has replied so far. If you've yet to send your card back please do so; and if you live outside the area we delivered them to but still want to register your views, you can do so online.
Just go to www.stuartking.net/postoffice if you want to protest the closure of the Lower Richmond Road branch, or www.stuartking.net/post for the Putney Bridge Road branch. Or why not sign both petitions?!
UPDATE 29.02.2008: The Post Office is in fact closing the Fulham Road branch at the "Putney" end of Fulham Road - the one near the junction with Fulham Palace Road; the branch referred to in their closures paper is staying open but this is the Parson's Green branch right up near Fulham Library.
