| 101 | Stephane Barbey | By closing places like the post office in Broad Chalke, the Royal Mail Group is slowly killing life and drawing the blood out of what most people nowadays long for, namely a sense of community, all in the name of money. That I find is despicable |
| 102 | Pippa Mukherjee | Without a post office many of the people in the village will not be able to get their pensions and since this post office is used regularly I cannot see any justification in closing it down. It is a thriving post office and the hub of the village so it would be disgraceful to close it. |
| 103 | Nigel Bamping | This post office is a vital part of this rural community. |
| 104 | Chris Dragonetti | As a former resident of Broad Chalke I know what an important part the Post Office plays in the life of the village |
| 105 | Lynn Smith | |
| 106 | Steven Hopkins | I am new to the area but have found the Post Office to be a great help and vital part of the village |
| 107 | Mrs Helen Gulliver | If Broadchalke is closed and we have to go to Fovant or Dinton we do not have a bus route to take us to these places. Has any one actually been out to our post office to see what business goes on. If not i suggest some one does. It is an apsalute disgrace that we are having everything taken away from us in the country. Please keep our post office open. |

| 112 | Ross Colwill | This Post Office is needed |
| 113 | R C Fisher | The retention of a Post Office in Broadchalke is essential not only for the village but also for the whole Chalke Valley which it serves. |
| 114 | Anne Baker | Being in the village without the Po would be just awful. A frequrnt visitor from abroad. |

| 116 | Anonymous | I believe that our post office must more than pay for itself as it is always busy. We shall be forced in to using Salisbury Post offices which usually have long queues. Where is all the money going? |
| 117 | Ellie Mitchell | |
| 118 | Malcolm Penney | Closing Post Offices, is just another misunderstanding by those with power. If only the good of the public could be served, instead of the urge to make things pay. |
| 119 | Jo List | We need our local post office, Please don't shut this one! |
| 120 | Neil Fletcher | Villages such as Broadchalke need Post Offices
to keep the community spirit alive. No rural post office should ever be closed. |
| 121 | Mrs Victoria Brown | We live in Alvediston and Broadchalke post office is the nearest one to our house. It is essential especially since the post office in Bowerchalke was closed. It would be a tragedy if it closed as it represents more than just a Post Office to the surrounding villages. |
| 122 | Anonymous | We will be lost without any "Centre" i n the vally from which one can get any information. It is the only shop in the Chalke valley. |
| 123 | Linda coggin | |
| 124 | Patricia Dragonetti | Please don't even think about closing down this thriving and essential business. |
| 125 | Susan Todd | The post office in Broadchalke is a vital part of the community. Any restriction in services will be a serious inconvenience to those without transport and environmentally not a good idea |
| 126 | Johanna Wood | |
| 127 | Mrs Jill Bullen | "The People's Post Office" ? - what a disgrace.
The closure of Broad Chalke Post Office is yet another example of the government's total disinterest in and understanding of the needs of a rural community.
I am a pensioner, dependent on the Post Office for cashing money etc. I also run a small business which entails sending frequent parcels. Where am I to go? We are told to save energy - how can I do this if I have to travel miles and miles to reach a post office? I am utterly disgusted. |
| 128 | R Fletcher | |
| 129 | Anna Hawke | This closure of this would ultimately effect the business of the shop it is located in also |

| 132 | Keith & Jean Attenborough | We use the Broad Chalke post office both for valley business and personally more than twice each week. Should the PO shut then we shall close the NS&I (2) and Alliance & Leicester (1) accounts we operate through the post office at the present time |
| 133 | Robert Key MP | Our Post Offices have always been a public service and we want them to stay that way. |
| 134 | adrian and sue markley | with such poor public transport, Broadchalke PO is vital to village life for many people who have limited means of access to post offices further afield, as well as the sense of community the PO here engenders. |
| 135 | simon & caroline pilkington | Broad Chalke PO should not be closed. Not only does it provide essential & valuable services, it is also the hub of a large and diverse rural community upon which many are dependent. |
| 136 | Belinda Scaburri | Broad Chalke post office, indivisible from Sue, is a monument to everything fine and heartening that is village living. |
| 137 | Cheryl Boyce | |
| 138 | diana farrow | Broad chalke has a new and hughly popular primary school, a thriving village hall and the shop and post office, so it is a "hub" community for the villages in the Chalke Valley. An outreach service would in adequately serve the needs of these rural communities . |

| 140 | GRAHAM DIMMER | No Post Office in the Valley, this is unthinkable |
| 141 | Anonymous | This is a community asset - it's not just about how many cusotmers are served and the nature of the transacations. |
| 142 | johnny bull | The Post Office is an important part of village community life; to lose it would show a scandalous lack of concern for a genuine public need. |
| 143 | Travis Baxter | Since arriving in Broad Chalke we have been reminded how fantastic it is to have a vibrant village shop and post office. The service Sue provides is both personal and highly professional and she always seems very busy. It would be interesting to know how much the village post office makes/looses before any central Post Office charges are applied? I find it difficult to believe that the Post Office can have fully thought through the impact that the closure of the village post office will have on the local community and how its closure will affect the future viability of the shop. Its also hard to see how they can be aware of the big access issues involved in travelling to the next biggest post office in Fovant. This proposal is typical of what appears to be the ongoing dispersal of our taxes away from the area we live in to the inner cities, where support for the current government is typically strongest. I am completely opposed to the closure of the Broad Chalke post office. |
| 144 | Sarah Hancock | The post offices at Broad Chalke and Coombe Bissett offer invaluable services in an area with infrequent public transport and many elderly residents. Taking away these essential public services changes communities into housing estates. |
| 145 | Anonymous | Sue does a fantastic job; the post office shop is vital to the community, and MUST BE SAVED |
| 146 | N.T.Barter | There has to be a full Post Office in the Chalke Valley. There are alot of tax-paying people who need this facility and as Broadchalke is in the centre of the valley, it makes alot of sence to keep this post-office open especially as Commbe Bisset is going to partially close as well. |
| 147 | Margaret Barter | I think it will appalling for the Chalke Valley residents if there is no post office facility available at all. Over the years local residents have supported the Post Office and used it willingly and this is how we are treated for giving support in the past. |

| 150 | Francis Taylor | The Chalke valley needs a post office. The alternatives are miles away and cannot be reached by bus. |
