I AM hoping that you in your paper Evesham Journal will help Mr and Mrs Summers obtain planning permission for a Post Office and Shop in Middle Lane, which was voted for by the villagers earlier this year by a majority 82% to 4%.

We all think it is a disgraceful act turning down a proposal such as this, which is an essential part of village life Post Office and Shop.
