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. We must put pressure on the Post Office to reopen a local branch. It is not impossible as both Send and Ripley have lost thier local post offices in the last year and post office counters have in both cases found a home for new local post offices in other local shops after the closure of their stand alone post offices.
