Town MP, Nicholas Soames, has written to the Chief Executive of Royal Mail to ask for urgent clarification on the reported possible closure of the Post Office in East Grinstead.

Mr Soames said; “Closure would be really bad news. It is unthinkable not to have proper facilities in East Grinstead and I look to Royal Mail to secure the interests of my constituents.

“A few years ago I backed the local campaign to safeguard Post Office services in the Town. West Sussex has one of the highest elderly populations in the country and East Grinstead is targeted for huge growth – this service must be retained.”
