Despite over 200 responses and protests from both local councils, Post Office Ltd have decided to close the Crown Post Office and franchise some of the services out to WH Smith in County Mall.Be in no doubt, this will drastically reduce access for those with disabilities, amongst other groups of users, and mean many services will no longer be available in our town. Totally unacceptable from an organisation still wholly-owned by the UK Government, and yet where this Government is unwilling to act to protect residents’ services.

Shocking the the post office has but profit before the people of Crawley….I feel for the older community who use the post office to collect their pensions tax there car etc..WH Smith’s in the mall is far to small for starters another disaster for Crawley as far as I’m concerned.
