The main post office in Kensington High Street is under threat of closure. Developers have put in a planning application for luxury flats. Apparently, they claim the office is, 'surplus to requirements,' for the Royal Mail.
The loss of the main post office in West Kensington was a serious handicap to all residents. This is now the closest large post office to the Lytton Estate and its closure would be would be another blow to local people, particularly our elderly ones. Its shutting down would put huge pressures on the excellent new sub-branch at Olympia News, 10 North End Rd. It can not compare in size or all the services that the Kensington office provides.
There is already a campaign in Kensington (see link below). If you are worried by this proposal please feel free to contact your local MP or councilor.
