HC Deb 14 May 1958 vol 588 c389
18. Mr. Usborne

asked the Postmaster-General when he intends to set up a sub-post office on the Cranes Park Estate, Sheldon, Birmingham.

Mr. K. Thompson

I am having fresh inquiries made and will write to the hon. Member as soon as possible.

Mr. Usborne

Does the hon. Gentleman realise that the nearest post office to this estate is about a mile away and that a great many of the citizens who live on the estate have been petitioning for a long time for a sub-post office somewhere in the district?

Mr. Thompson

As the hon. Member knows, we have had this matter under review; the hon. Member himself has brought it to our attention. We are having another look at it to see whether there is any good ground for installing a new sub-office.
