The fight to save our post office is likely to be featured on this Sunday's edition of The Politics Show which is on BBC1 Wales from 12pm - 1pm.
I've been informed our campaign is "likely" to be covered since, as with all news-related programmes, a really big story could tear up the schedule, so fingers crossed Sunday is a quiet news day.
Filming for the programme took place in town this week, this morning was a particularly busy time in the post office as you can see!
Pictured above is Jane Davidson, AM for Pontypridd, being interviewed by The Politics Show's Mark Hannaby.
In the picture below, also taken today are (left to right): Councillor Glynne Holmes, Post Master Colin Cranness, Jane.
(Thanks to Ciaran, Mark and The Politics Show crew for taking an interest in our story. Thanks also to Gareth Mantle for supplying the picture of Jane Davidson being interviewed in the post office).

Whoever is suggesting closing this office has probably never tried to walk to Southgate. I am an alpine mountaineer, and sometimes cannot cross the road opposite the tennis club in safety. If anyone elderly or infirm tried it, they could be killed. Let the decison maker ponder on that. Let the decison maker also think about anyone less than 100% fit trying to walk back up the hill. Anyone suffering heart/airways disease would find it prohibitively difficult; anyone less than fit will struggle. The truth is that this an ill considered and reckless proposition, and should have been stifled at outset.
Hello Terry
Thanks for your comment, it was a powerful point very well made.
If the Post Office decides to review whether our branch stays open you, with your mountaineering background, would be a very interesting man to feature either here, on this site, or elsewhere in the media.
So please stay in touch and thanks again for your view and support.
Best wishes
John
