THE Evening Advertiser has launched a campaign to save the threatened post offices. These buildings are not merely places to cash pensions and benefits they are important focal points.

This year the Advertiser celebrates its 150th birthday. At the same time, the Clifton Street post office opened for business. Both were born with the same aim to serve the local community. We are calling on that same community to fight these closure proposals.

We are urging anyone with old photographs and memories of the post offices to call us on 01793 501798.

In return we will supply banners, flyers, posters and anything else needed to send a message to the decision-makers.

And if you are planning a protest or a petition, please let us know on 01793 501802. We have six weeks to make a difference.
