Email from the Post Office to Chair of Parish Council I regret to inform you that we’ve had a number of delays in commissioning the van and operational equipment. Up to yesterday, Thursday afternoon, we were still trying to maintain the original schedule, but due to shortages of specialised engineers in the field during this busy period for us, there will be a delay in opening the Mobile Post Office. I don’t expect any of the services that were due to be running on Monday 26thMarch to do so, even if we manage to complete the installation of our equipment on Monday morning, as the van is based a fair distance away from its area of operations. Services will therefore commence on Tuesday 27th March in the area, but Nettlebed will only be visited on Thursday 29th March, as scheduled. Kind regards, Carlos Carlos Pereira, Area Network Change Manager (LIW), South-East Team 07442 538 217, carlos.pereira@postoffice.co.uk www.runapostoffice.co.uk  ...

The new mobile Post Office service begins next Monday, 26th March. It will be at the village club from 9 AM to 11 AM on Mondays and Thursdays. For more information contact 03452 660 115. Please pass on this information to any of your neighbours who may not have Internet connection or email....
