Sir.-Oh how we would love to have our post office back, on the Roman Road. Alas, it was pulled down ages ago.

New houses have taken over now. When a post office closes, the heart goes out of a community.

It used to be a meeting place for friends. We would know who was ill, so would be able to help them out.

Post Office Ltd does not seem to care for people - only making money.

-Mrs F Hughes, Beech Way, Basingstoke.
