Name: Clare Sambidge on Jan 22, 2008Comments: It is crazy to expact frail elderly people to hike all the way from Essex Road to Highbury Corner - or wait half an hour in the cold for the notoriously unreliable 271, the only bus that operates between these locations. It is a busy, well used Post Office and to close it would be foolish.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Jan 22, 2008Comments: The post office has always been busy when I have been in - have never been in and not had to queue for several minutes and have sometimes queued out the door. It is clearly used a lot by the local community, including many elderly people who would find it hard to use other more distant facilities. There is also a lot of housing being built in the area at the moment, so it seems likely that it will only get busier.Flag

Name: Stuart King on Jan 25, 2008Comments: My recently started eBay business (run from home) will be rendered completely impractical by such a closure. This particular Post Office is ALWAYS full of people conducting transactions. How you can possibly suggest it is unprofitable beggars belief. I would go further, and suggest that a chimpanzee could make this unit turn a good profit, so why your team of highly paid executives are unable to do so, is shameful and should cause you some considerable concern and embarrassment.Flag

Name: Michael Hogan on Jan 25, 2008Comments: To Post Office: Nobody in Islington desires Essex Road PO to be closed. Therefore, if you proceed in closing it, you are defecating on your customers. Don't play the profitability card because there's no way Essex Rd makes a net loss per annum; thus it's profitable. And if you want to mention 'efficiency', then I'd ask you to remember that we are HUMAN BEINGS, not worker bees in some borg like bee hive. Yes, we are peasants, and I'm sure you think we'll adapt easily to the changes. But many of us won't, which equals a lack of customer care. I know it's your business, but it's our community, and we quite like Essex Road PO the way it is. So quit tinkering, and stop harassing us. Islington resident, 26 years old, New River Green Estate.Flag

Has Adam Crozier stated how far it is reasonable for people to walk to his diminishing number of post offices Perhaps a public walk of pensioners and the disabled could be organised.Flag

I hae often queued for 10 minutes or moreThere are very many elderly users for whom a walk to Upper Street or Highbury Corner would just be too much. these 2 offices would be impossible with all the extra business from Essex RoadFlag

Name: Sheila Golby on Feb 4, 2008Comments: post offices are a vital part of any community and especially to elderly people who find it difficult to travel distances for the sevices the post offices offer. With fewer bank branches too it does not make sense to close so many post offices and this one in particular is very much neededFlag
