Kingfield Post Office
So many people are asking us about the closed Kingfiled post office that we have just launched an online version of our paper petition that went out two weeks ago here http://wokinglibdems.org.uk/…/kingfield-post-office-online-… to make it easier for local people to add their names digitally.
