Letters to the Editor
 
Join our fight for a new post office

• The post office in Belsize Village has now been closed. Last week local users gave an affectionate farewell to Jay Chauhan, who had served the Belsize community for 25 years as its manager.
In recent years he was commuting daily from his East Midlands home. If only the highly salaried managers at Post Office Ltd could show one tenth of his commitment to providing a decent service.
Only days after the closure Belsize village is noticeably quieter. Its post office provided an incentive to visit other shops nearby, busy people combining several errands in one trip. We suspect that some of the trade is going elsewhere. The local pub is also disappearing. Is ours to become a ghost village?
It is clear that the Belsize community needs the kind of service it used to enjoy; a two-counter Belsize branch on Haverstock Hill and a one-counter Belsize village branch – the two offices which served these two distinct catchment areas up to 2002.
We propose a non-party Post Office Action Group that will campaign for both branches, and we should be very pleased to hear from any resident interested in joining.
