Nettlebed

Dear All As some of you will already be aware, following discussion with David Nimmo-Smith, it is suggested we meet to discuss the post office issue. Before we meet I want to set out the situation with regard to Nettlebed Post Office as I see it. I do appreciate how important this Post Office is to you and have been in regular touch with the PO since the Network Transformation Programme began. Let me start by reminding you that the Government is very committed to rural Post Offices. Perhaps you missed the investment of £370 million announced just before Christmas. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-pledges-to-secure-the-future-of-the-post-office I have challenged the PO on many occasions over particular issues in the constituency including Nettlebed Post Office. Change always brings its challenges and on the whole, the Network Transformation Programme that PO Ltd embarked on seems to have been successful. It is good to see that at last the business has turned around to make a profit after many years in the...

Dear Suzanne (Parish Clerk) I fear the letter you have is now dated and the situation is not now as optimistic. We were all hopeful that Malthouse would continue to operate the Post Office until a mobile service was in place. However I was advised on 23rd January by Laura Tarling, External Affairs Manager for the Post Office, that Malthouse had advised that it would not be possible to continue under the current way they operate the branch and thus there will be a temporary closure of the service. I am, of course, keeping up the pressure on this and have asked the Post Office to give me an indication of timescale and also to keep me updated on progress. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news in this instance. With best wishes John (Howell MP) ...

Southern Electric have been in contact this morning.  As you may be aware, we are expecting bad weather to come in overnight tonight (Wednesday 17/01 into midmorning Thursday 18/01).

Attached is a leaflet on best practice for your reference.  The most important thing to remember is SE emergency contact number 105. SSEN Leaflet_17.01.18...

This note confirms discussions held between the Post Office and John Howell MP, Member of Parliament for the Henley Constituency, on 12 January 2018. The MP had a meeting with the Post Office on 12 January 2018 (Laura Tarling – External Affairs Manager). The result was that the Post Office confirmed the following: · The decision to close the Nettlebed post office was taken by Malthurst (who operate the garage) – not the Post Office; · The Post Office wants to ensure that a Post Office can be provided in Nettlebed; · They are trying to arrange an extension to the closure period set out by Malthurst in order to get more time to develop a replacement service; · They are examining whether the option of a permanent post office in Nettlebed would be viable; · If not, they are also looking at arrangements for a mobile service to be provided in Nettlebed subject to siting; · The meeting agreed that there was urgent need to find...

I would like to assure you that we are working hard to keep any period of closure to a minimum and are currently investigating the options available which will enable us to reinstate a Post Office service to the local community.
