§ 76 and 77. Mr. G. Thomasasked the Postmaster-General (1) whether he is aware of the need for postal and telephone facilities at Leckwith, Cardiff; and whether he will take action to prevent the removal of the post office from its present position;
(2) what local organisations were consulted before his decision was taken to remove the Post Office and telephone facilities from Leckwith Road, Cardiff; and whether he will make a statement.
Dr. HillAs the hon. Member knows, the post office had to be moved to 26, Leckwith Road on 23rd February following the resignation of the sub-postmistress whose premises are at 66, Leckwith Road. The new office is in a more central position and only about 200 yards from the existing site. It was therefore not thought 127W necessary to trouble local organisations with details of the change. It is not intended to move the pillar box and the telephone kiosk which adjoin the former office.
