A good number of residents, together with John Penrose MP, met at the Post Office to demonstrate against the proposed closure of the Kewstoke Post Office. After a press photo call, many people joined in the march over Monk's Hill to the "nearest" nominated alternative Post Office in Milton Road. A walk over the 1 in 4 Monk's Hill is totally unrealistic for those without transport, as the majority are elderly or infirm. The alternative way to reach Milton Road Post Office is by car or by public transport.
The only bus route from the village is from Sandbay, Kewstoke into town. Residents would not then take the second bus to Milton Post Office - they would use the Main Post Office in the town centre.

Mark Tottle is being well supported in his campaign to challenge the proposed closure of the Kewstoke Post Office. Please support the campaign by signing the petition in the Post Office, write to our MP or write to the Post Office at Network Development Manager, Post Office Ltd, c/o National Consultation Team, FREEPOST CONSULTATION TEAM. The closing date for the consultation is 9th April 2008.
