The name has got a 50s feel about it so in my mind it’s for older people who have very specific concerns. Nothing wrong with that. -

There is also one for Goose green https://www.police.uk/pu/your-area/metropolitan-police-service/goose-green/?yourlocalpolicingteam=your-team Disclaimer: only passing on what I have found by searching. No involvement in organising it. -

It is a challenge. These sorts of services are increasingly expensive to deliver as fewer and fewer people use them. Most people don't want to have to go back to using their lunch hour to queue up at the bank or Post Office. So the options are - reduce the service, make it more expensive or the tax payer subsidises it. -
Surely increasing profits are not the reason? It's more about preventing massive losses? You can't keep things going at vast expense because a few people still use them. We would still be in the stone age. There are always going to be some people who find it hard to use "modern" technology (which has been going for decades). I would have thought the answer was for those people to learn how to do the things they need to do? I'm sure lots of help must be available? I'm one of the ancient ones, and around the end of the nineties I went on a free course to be taught how to go online and use the internet. It was quite a steep learning curve, but so is learning anything new. So in previous years was learning to use a PC and word processing. So was learning Excel and spreadsheets. If you need to use something, you have to learn how to do it! Some people may not have the mental capacity to do this, but in that case surely they will be getting support in other areas of their daily life already? And as regards the possible closure of the crown post office (note - possible) we don't know what alternative arrangements may be made should this happen, so it seems a bit premature to be protesting about it at this point.
