§ 88. Major MALONEasked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of representations made to him by the Tottenham District Council as to the need for proper Post Office accommodation in that district, he is prepared to give assurance that no further delay will be permitted in carrying out this work?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir William Joynson-Hicks)In the absence of suitable premises in the neighbourhood, it has not been possible, up to the present, to improve the Post Office accommodation at Tottenham by providing a branch office. The accommodation at the sub-Post Office at High Cross, to which the Tottenham District Council referred in their representation, is normally sufficient for public requirements. Post Office business only is transacted, and six assistants are employed.
§ Major MALONEIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the local authorities have on several occasions represented to his Department that this is a disgrace to the neighbourhood?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSI do not know about the exact language, but I know there has been dissatisfaction expressed. My Department has not, up to the present, been able to find a suitable site.
§ Mr. R. MORRISONIs the hon. Gentleman aware that the local authorities and all business people in the district are of opinion that the premises are totally unsuitable?
