I doubt this is anything to do with the council - remember the Royal Mail was privatised and that site in Brentford is worth big bucks. In south Isleworth we haven't had a post office for about two years, either you have to go to Isleworth station parade, Twickenham or Central Ave. Hounslow. Privatisation is about profits not service or giving a toss about the staff, many sub postmasters have been fighting through the courts - successfully - to get restitution for the appalling way Royal Mail has treated them, costing many their livelihoods, worry and in some cases their freedom. So if you imagine the powers that be at Royal Mail care whether or not the public are inconvenienced then think again. |
