HC Deb 22 June 1949 vol 466 c26W
70. Mr. E. Fletcher

asked the Postmaster-General whether, when the new Crown post office at the corner of New North Road and Essex Road is opened, it is proposed to close or to keep open the present sub-post offices at 354, Essex Road and 275, New North Road.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

A scheme for establishing a new Crown post office near the junction of New North Road and Essex Road, Islington, envisages the closing of the sub-post offices at 354, Essex Road and 275, New North Road, but the scheme is unlikely to mature within the next 18 months.
