I THINK it is absolutely disgusting that Royal Mail is thinking of closing 270 Post Offices.

Where do we get our pensions from if this is done? I always obtained my pension from Lowesmoor Post Office as I have a heart condition and high-blood pressure.

So it was more convenient for me to go there as I have to use the bus and it stopped right outside.

I know there is one in Ronkswood, but it is quite far for me to walk, and quite a steep bank whether you go up Westminster Road, Norwich Road or Lichfield Avenue. However, when Lowesmoor closed I decided to get off the bus in St Nicholas Street and take a steady walk to the main post office.

The counter staff were always so pleasant and helpful and you were called to whichever space was available so your business was not seen by anyone.

I trust the people who head the board of Royal Mail will stop and think of the elderly who fought world wars to give them jobs.
