Jane Davidson's assistant, Chris Williams kindly sent me copies of letters Jane, AM for Pontypridd, recently sent to Huw Roberts (Director Welsh Affairs, Royal Mail Group), Steve Geraty (Network Development Manager, Post Office Ltd) and Eifion Pritchard (Chairman Postwatch Wales)
The letters detail the dismay we felt at the inadequate reasons given for closing our post office as well as a sense of being bewildered by the behaviour of certain organisations.
In one of the letters (dated January 21st), to Postwatch Wales' Eifion Pritchard, Jane writes of how the closure of Llantrisant post office left her "not only deeply disappointed, but deeply shocked".
She then reiterated the familiar, yet still powerful community, geographical and economy-related arguments that were raised during the campaign to keep our office open.
The letter ends: "The closure of Llantrisant Post Office will leave the community in a very vulnerable position.
"However, it was my understanding that one of Postwatch’s primary considerations in their evaluations of the closures proposed by Post Office Ltd was that communities should not be left in such a state.
"Despite the clear signs that Llantrisant will be put in a very precarious position I have now been informally told by Post Office Ltd that Postwatch has withdrawn its objection to the closure of Llantrisant post office. I feel that both I and my constituents are entitled to know what has led to this change of heart
"I should therefore be most grateful if you could inform me of the basis on which this apparent change of opinion is based."
