I AM a pensioner and I was most upset on reading about the closure of some rural post offices (May 27). It is so convenient for me to sign my book and go along to the post office.

It is also a pleasure to be treated as an individual as we are in Copmanthorpe. Help is always at hand with complicated forms and so forth, and advice in general is also given, which is much appreciated.

Please consider these changes as it will be a sad day for so many people if it does happen.

Mrs M Case,

Barons Crescent,

Copmanthorpe,

York.
