Post@St Mary's?

The news that Revd. Giles Fraser and St Mary's Church are in discussions to see whether they can take on some of Post Office functions when the two local branches close is a glimmer of hope and I wish Dr Fraser well in his negotiations.

It's important that the council doesn't use this offer to avoid serious consideration of whether it could integrate its services with the post office - for example at the Parking Shop in Lower Richmond Road. However, in terms of location and accessibility I can think of few better locations than St Mary's Church.
