Kirkby Housing Estate, Lancashire (Facilities)

HC Deb 31 July 1957 vol 574 c181W

1. Mr. H. Wilson

asked the Postmaster-General if he will make a statement on the Post Office facilities provided and to be provided in the Northwood and Westvale areas of the Kirkby Housing Estate, Lancashire.

Mr. K. Thompson

We have provided eight posting boxes and four telephone kiosks in these areas, and in Westvale there is a sub-post office. Two more telephone kiosks will be put up shortly in Westvale, and as each area grows other kiosks and posting boxes will be provided. We hope to provide Crown Post Offices to serve each area in temporary premises by March. 1958.
