Big question is how much are you prepared to spend, it never ceases to amaze me how prices in SE22 and most of the adjacent post codes continue to spiral. I don't know how the average London family can afford to move here. I expect many of us became owners when prices were not silly. -

Helen Hayes made sterling efforts to prevent the closure of the Sylvester Road delivery office, including attending a public (I think. I was there, anyway!) meeting about it, and coming to a demo outside the delivery office. The demo was publicised locally, but only about half a dozen SE22 residents turned up, which was embarrassing and didn't exactly show Royal Mail that there was any strong local feeling about it 🙄 When the delivery office closed, whilst Helen was still our MP before the boundary changes, she made great efforts to get the service from Peckham improved, including more than one (I think) visit there. Sometimes the service would get better for a short time, then it would just deteriorate again. Some of the underlying causes are indeed due to the Sylvester Road delivery office closure, but I suspect others are due to poor management both at local and higher levels, plus wider issues with Royal Mail at a national level. I'm not sure that Ellie Reeves could succeed where all Helen Hayes's efforts didn't, but by all means encourage her to try! I wonder whether bombarding the CEO with complaints might have more of an impact, but I wouldn't hold my breath, not least because he would probably never see them, and even if he did, some minion in his office would just send a polite standard reply.
