DHL Collection Point At Old PO

Post by Senior Service »

The headline says it all, we all know the management are hell bent on destroying the Post Office Network and Royal Mail. Today i was on a rural delivery i hadnt done for a while when what should i see in a former sub post office but a sign for DHL parcel collection. The Post Office was in quite a fair sized village and making money but despite a campaign by many including the local MP who lives in the Village it was closed down 6 months ago after "consultation". The residents were then left with the choice of a 5 mile trip to the local town or a travelling PO parked in a laybye a couple of hours a week! I dont blame the owners for one minute they have to make a living.
How the hell can we hope to survive when we are strangling our own collection network, we are constantly being told that Ebay et al are a growth market so what do we do - close the post offices and give the business away.
Of course this may not be national but it is happening in Wiltshire.
