SIR, - What evidence does Mr Peter Willsohn have to justify his comments about the proposed closure of the post office in Station Road North, and his comments that "many Harpenden and Batford locals do not even know of the existence of this obscure post office"?

Maybe not where he lives but rest assured, those who live in the vicinity of this well-known and well-used post office value it a great deal. His dismissive comment that the main post office is only a few hundred yards further up the road will be of no comfort to those with little or no access to transport.

Mr Willsohn may well get his wish to see this merited post office closed but I'm sure it won't be without a fight.
