What YOU can do (+ poster download)


OK, you've heard about this site. You want to help, what can you do?

Well the aim of this site is to record, in as short a time as possible, what the people of Llantrisant think about the proposed closure of our post office in Swan Street.

You can contribute to this website in a number of ways.

Firstly, ask yourself these questions:

What did you think when you heard about the proposed closure?
If the post office is closed, how will it affect you?
Will you be out of pocket as a result?
Do you run a business? If so, what impact will closure have on your work?
What affect will closure have on the community, particularly old people?

If you wish to make a blog entry, one written by yourself expressing how you feel (it could be a letter you've already sent to the powers that be), you can e-mail me at john.gilheaney@btinternet.com and I will happily upload it onto this site.

Or, if you would like me to visit and interview you, to hear your story in person, that could be arranged over the festive season.

Alternatively, just simply make a comment on a particular entry by clicking on the 0 comments link below.

By January 2nd I want to have compiled a comprehensive web-based document which reflects the feeling in the town. Something which the politicians can use to bolster our case, a site which makes the people who make the ultimate decision sit up and take notice of the viewpoints in Llantrisant.

Let's do everything we can to strengthen our aim.

Here are some people you can write to, tell them how you feel:

Mr Huw Roberts, Royal Mail Group, Director of Welsh Affairs, 3rd Floor, 220 Penarth Road, CARDIFF, CF11 8TA

Steve Geraty, Network Development Manager, Post Office Ltd, c/o National Consultation Team, FREEPOST CONSULTATION TEAM

Also, have a look at the links page on this site and get in touch with your local politician/AM.

(Note: feel freel to download and circulate the poster image at the top of this entry. Right click on your mouse - save picture as - click OK, save on your computer then print it out, put it on your front window and distribute!).
