Just back from Westminster after a group of approximately 30 passionate Llantrisant citizens, all desperate to keep our post office open, had a fine day indeed.
A big thank you for the smooth running of today must go to Councillor Glynne Holmes for organising the trip and also for putting the case to Kim so passionately.
We left the Bull Ring at 7am this morn, sent on our way by a rousing speech from Jane Davidson AM, a mighty achievement at such a tender hour!
Copies of information Jane has sent to concerned residents plus all the letters she had from Postwatch and the Post Office were distributed.
Then she said this: "Now I think we've got a very, very good chance of saving this particular post office because not only do you have a fantastic Post Master and Mistress, but you have demonstrated you use it.
"We want to make sure that everybody understands that this post office is used not only by local residents for their personal business but it's used by people to make sure that the local economy of Llantrisant is given a strong boost by its support for local businesses as well.
"You're going to go and make that strong case in London today, I wish you all the best, you've got the Observer with you - imagine having a reporter to yourselves for the whole day! - so good luck and good speed and let's win!"
