In this new year, there is one priority we must have in Westminster and that is saving as many of the Crown Post Offices(CPO) – Baker Street, Paddington Quay, Vauxhall Bridge Road Victoria, Lupus Street Pimlico, and at the Aldwych – earmarked for closure last year.
They are the life-lines for those still using cash and not into the on-line(and those struggling with it as well) world, risks isolating many of the communities in the City of Westminster. Lets not also forget the professionalism of the staff is second to none along with their patience with many of us struggling with government applications for driving licences, passports and such like. And finally many of our local small and medium businesses in Paddington, Marylebone and Pimlico which depend on them as well.
A few years ago we managed to save the CPO Lupus Street, SW1 on Churchill Gardens, let us do the same with all our remaining CPOs now threatened with our arguments.
