Its been quite a while since Post Office Ltd announced that the Montgomeryshire village of Abermule's Post Office was to close. Must admit that I've been disappointed that its proved impossible to reverse this decision. Abermule is a rapidly growing village, and local people are outraged that their Post Office is to close. So I'm very pleased that there's been an agreement to establish a 'partnership' arrangement between Abermule and the nearby Newtown Post Office, facilitating the continuation of Post Office services on the same site. Not what we wanted, but a damn sight better than the 'Mobile Van' that was proposed. To be fair to Post Office Wales, their representatives made it clear from the beginning that they were willing to consider a 'partnership'. The major benefit of this arrangement is that the same excellent people continue to provide the service.
The arrangement now agreed for Abermule is similar to that which was agreed at nearby Berriew, (where I live) following a public meeting (which I chaired) where we all decided we preferred it to the 'Mobile Van'. The main difference is that in Berriew, the local 'service supplier' is different, and its a different location. I know its taken a big commitment to learn the ropes. Whatever I'm really pleased that a service is to be retained at Abermule. I had been becoming increasingly concerned that this thriving village might have been left with no service at all.

Glyn> you deserve a LOT of praise. I marvel at how dedicated you are, how much you want to work for your community and for Wales.
Chris your becoming the Teacher's pet
Anon (12:22:00 PM) to the extent that what you say is true, then what a great teacher.
If you haven't done so already, please take a butchers at Glyn's next post ("Speech Therapy") - where Glyn even talks about teaching others what he was taught by another great teacher (Glynne Jones), a great teacher who gave up his time to teach Glyn, and no doubt many others, the art of public speaking.
Honestly, Glyn Davies has earned the trust of the people of Montgomeryshire and shown that he has the stamina and all the other things that speak to him being a great future advocate for the folks of Montgomeryshire.
Glyn Davies is very deserving of our support, and needs the folks in his county to support him on election day. I hope they turn out in droves to vote for Glyn Davies.
The Shropshire Star did this story proud today. And anon - one of these days Christopher will disagree with me and then look out. He's fierce when roused. Ask Peter Black.
... anyone else noticed the avalanche of letters criticising Peter Black in the Western Mail and Cardiff Echo? Begs the question, is he going rogue and why can't Kirsty Williams reign him in? A prospective party leader who can't impose order on her own team of supporters ...
