The People Who Really Matter

‘Cambridge News’ asked if they could have a photograph of me to go with an article they are preparing. I suggested they include some of the villagers stressed by the Post Office closure. There would have been a lot more except for the ‘Friendship Club’ day-trip.

Thank you to all who came, to all who would have come and to all who sent messages of support. You are the people that matter; the people for whom the Post Office should be honouring their promise – the people whose lives are affected by the Post Office Management’s lack of imagination.

Comment from Greig Markham :
Thank you for showing the human face of what the Post Office Management calls 'efficiency savings.
Keep up the good work.

My response:

Thank you for your comments and support, Greig. 'Efficiency savings' are service cuts and job losses made to meet Government targets. Service cuts affect the vulnerable. Job losses are always from the bottom. Take too much away from the bottom of a structure, it becomes top-heavy and begins to collapse. Think Post Office. Think Health Service. Think Banking and Finance.

Comment from Cas:
Good for you Jane , its about time someone spoke up ......come on Over residents , lets give Jane all the support we can , instead of merely grumbling & doing nothing !

Comment from Alison:
Nice to know there are people like you brave
enough to stand and fight for those of us that cant or dont know how. Thankyou

My response:

Thank you both for your messages. This is not a 'one-woman campaign'. Because I listened, I know the strength of feeling, and acknowledge the level of support from villagers and their appreciation of my efforts on their behalf. And Alison, for just causes someone will always step forward to be the representative, knowing they have the might of the silent majority behind them.

Comment from Fran:
Thank God for Grumpy ol Women, especially the ones that are willing to right a wrong for everyone's benefit. I am a GOW from across the pond and read of your efforts via a relative. I don't know you but I applaud you and wish you well! You shine!
