HC Deb 02 August 1961 vol 645 cc180-1W
67. Mr. Ainsley

asked the Postmaster-General what was the nature of his reply to a letter, dated 8th July, from the Croak and Willington Urban District Council, about the opening of a sub-post office in the mining village of Ruddy-moor, Crook, County Durham.

Miss Pike

There is a Post Office within about half a mile of Ruddymoor, and two others just over a mile away. The council has been told that we should not be justified in opening an office in the village itself.
