§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Postmaster-General (1) whether he will review the number and positioning of post-boxes in the Woodhouse Park, Benchill, Baguley and Northenden areas of Manchester to see to what extent they cater adequately for public needs; and if he will make a statement;
274W(2) what recent consideration there has been of the adequacy of Post Office facilities in the Wythenshawe area of Manchester; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. StonehouseA new Crown post office was opened in the Civic Centre of Wythenshawe towards the end of last year. The Wythenshawe area, including Woodhouse Park, Benchill, Baguley and Northenden, is well served by 60 posting boxes. Postal collection and delivery arrangements have been thoroughly overhauled in recent months. I am satisfied that the facilities provided are adequate, but we shall keep a close watch on future needs in this fast growing area.
