Retail on the Cally Road constantly struggles to keep its head above water. Now Tony Rees gets in touch to tell me that the post office at the bottom end of the Cally in the one way system faces the axe (see below). Post Offices create a flow of people from which other shops benefit. It is a terrible prospect for pensioners to have to cross three major arterial roads, with appalling crossings to get to the Euston Road office. The other Cally post office is some way up hill. And of course the Council has taken away all the benches on which older people used to sit for a rest along the Cally Road.
Tony says:
'We just learnt today that our local Post Office at 100 Caledonian Road is to close as part of measures to "modernise and reshape" the Post Office network. This will mean our nearest Post offices will be in Euston Road, the other side of the King's Cross gyratory nightmare, or 320 Caledonian Road, a healthy brisk ten minute walk, just what we oldies (and young mums) need. There is to be a local consultation period ending on the 2nd April. Comments can be sent to:
