HC Deb 22 June 1966 vol 730 cc87-8W
99. Sir W. Teeling

asked the Postmaster-General why it has been decided to close the sub-post office at Messrs. Boots Limited in Western Road, Brighton, the main post office covering the shops and business premises in this central area and also the only other sub-post office in this area at Messrs. Cliffords in Preston Street on 1st August; and what will be the nearest post offices for this area now and the distances between each.

Mr. Joseph Slater

The offices are to close because the Sub-Postmasters have tendered their resignations. The nearest Post Offices are in Western Road, Victoria Road, Queens Road and Ship Street; these are all within a radius of about half a mile of the area in question.

I am having urgent inquiries made into the possibilities of providing facilities to replace the closed offices and will write to the hon. Member.

for which separate figures are not available.
