Potential post office mobile van to visit Dorchester

We have just been made aware of this potential post office van in the last few days.

Please note that this consultation process includes the introduction of a mobile post office service for Dorchester-on-Thames.

The period closes on 17th April and so there is time for it to appear in the April Dorchester News.

 

I’m pleased to let you know that we are proposing to restore Post Office services to the communities of Stadhampton and Stoke Row, with the introduction of a Mobile van service.

Since the closure of the above services we have continued to work to identify a solution to restore services to the local communities. We are therefore planning to introduce a Mobile service, which is a tried and tested way of maintaining service to smaller communities. The Mobile Service is a travelling Post Office aboard a specifically designed vehicle that brings Post Office services and retail products to communities without relying on fixed premises that has formed part of our operational network for some years now.

I am therefore pleased to inform you that the Postmaster from Warborough Post Office has been appointed to run the mobile van service in the above localities. The establishment of Mobile services presents the best possible solution to restore Post Office services to these communities.

In addition to restoring these services, we will also be reinstating services as a temporary Mobile service to Benson RAF, Checkendon, Dorchester on Thames, Nettlebed, Radley and Tetsworth while we continue to seek a permanent solution.

Why We Are Consulting

We would like you to tell us what you think about the suitability of the proposed new service.

Waste Collection – snow update

Below is an update on waste collection this week from southandvale due to the snow.

We are expecting some disruption to recycling collections today due to the snow and ice. It’s unlikely that conditions will have improved sufficiently for the crews to catch up tomorrow, so if we aren’t able to empty bins today, we’re asking residents to leave them out on Monday and we will try and catch up.

If we haven’t emptied them by the end of the day on Monday, they should bring them back in and we will empty them next time they’re due. If this is the case they will be able to leave out extra recycling beside their bin in a clear sack or an open box if it is full up.
