MARLOVIANS suffered for many months without a Post Office.

The Marlow Society and others campaigned long and hard and we now have the portable office in the Dean Street car park. This is a welcome improvement, although we would like to see better access and more free parking, particularly for the disabled.

Unfortunately, we now have another, less well reported loss, which will affect us all, and in particular our already hard pressed local businesses.

The Marlow Society is shocked that our excellently staffed sorting office and parcel collection and sending depot is now closed at 1 pm every weekday. This change means that urgent deliveries will often have to wait until the next day for collection following a late morning notification of their arrival in Marlow. Furthermore, businesses using the depot to send post will obviously be adversely affected as many will not have their post ready to send until after the office is closed.

The residents and businesses of Marlow need and deserve a far better service and we are writing to protest at both the loss of facility and lack of consultation.

Ron Waters, Chairman, The Marlow Society
