    Could the postman collect letters on his route?

    its not just about letters though. There is bills, there is collections of payments and you'd be surprised of the social element with the post office in rural villages too. For many its the only human connection they might have all week. Not being dramatic or anything its the reality

    All they need is a postbox in the village, the local shop could sell stamps.

    Not really

    There's packages and different types of postage

    I'm not even a little old lady and do tonnes of stuff at the p.o

    A local shop can and do provide the same service. Buy and print a label, drop it into the shop and off it goes.

    No. She is typical rte. I want her to provide solutions , there are easy solutions to all our problems. But she won’t come out and dare upset many of her viewers. Getting free housing , outrageous welfare. Paying as good as nothing into the system .... virtually no lpt. No water charges...

    if our local post office was closed, elderly people in our parish would face having to arrange a lift 6 miles to post a letter. Now, whatever about keeping physical offices open, i think they need to come up with some form of solution where people can avail of basic and straightforward services without having to beg for lifts, etc.

    Many locals would drive 6 miles to get to the local post office.
