Save Our Postman!

A local resident has launched a campaign to try and change plans to relocate a long serving postman to Market Drayton. Angus Taylerson of Wollerton has prepared a petition in the hope of revising Post Office plans to reorganise postal rounds in the area.
Neil Cartwright has delivered letters to residents of Hodnet, Wollerton and Marchamley for 21 years. He is well known to the residents, having built up friendships with many of them. Both Neil and local residents are distressed to hear that due to restructuring, he will be allocated duties elsewhere whilst his round will be split up and the parts attached to other rounds. The general feeling is that the community will very much miss his local knowledge and helpful attitude.
Angus has placed copies of the petition in the Village Store, Bear Hotel and Hodnet Post Office and is hoping that as many people as possible will support his call for Post Office management to reconsider moving Neil from the round he has faithfully served for over two decades. Angus says, “As with everything we need a strong collective voice if we are to get large organizations to stop, listen and hopefully change plans. As such we need your support if we are to have a chance to overturn the proposed plans.”
Angus intends sending the petition to the Post Office management over the weekend of 4/5th June,  so if you want to add your name to this call from the community, please do so by Friday.
