§ 18. Mr. Chapmanasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the proposed new post office at Hillwood Road, Bangham Pit, Birmingham, will in no sense serve the residents of the main Weoley Castle Estate, Birmingham, 29, as it is over a mile from the shopping centre and on another estate; what increased staff and counter space he proposes to to make available at the Weoley Castle sub-post office in order to reduce delays and complaints; and when he proposes to build a separate post office to serve this area.
Dr. HillThe new sub-office is expected to attract a number of people who at present use the Weoley Castle sub-office and so reduce the pressure there; in addition, the counter space at the Weoley Castle office is being increased by 2ft. 6in. Yet another post office in the area would not be justified at present.
