Name: John Barnes on Jan 9, 2008Comments: Broad Chalke Post Office provides essential services to Broad Chalke and neighbouring communities in the Chalke Valley. Suggested use of Fovant Post Office ignores the topography of the area and the total absence of any direct bus serviceFlag

Name: Major J H S Thompson MBE on Jan 9, 2008Comments: This is the only PO in the middle of the Chalke Valley, serving 5 villages locally, with no alternative other than by a car run into Salisbury. There is no suitable bus service, and none at all to Wilton or Fovant. By keeping this PO you will maintain the integrity of the shop, the only one between Coombe Bissett and Ludwell, serving 7 villages. The PO serves about 1500 people, and has a big influence on the viability of the associated shop. This PO is vital to the heart of Broad Chalke and the spirit of the Chalke Valley. It must be kept.Flag

Name: Nick Lowe on Jan 9, 2008Comments: An intelligent observation of the map, showing the positions of nearest offices demonstrates how central and how essential is the current excellent and invaluable service. Lack of private transport for large number of individuals a huge problem.Flag

Name: Annabel Walters on Jan 10, 2008Comments: For environmental reasons this should be opposed. A restricted service will only result on more car journeys and cause traffic problems in Fovant and/or WiltonFlag

Name: Ian Fowler on Jan 10, 2008Comments: It makes no sense whatsoever closing Broad Chalke Post Office, the only post office and shop in the Chalke Valley. A map of closures in the Salisbury area demonstrates the lack of logic in the proposed closures.Flag

Name: Gabrielle Wright on Jan 11, 2008Comments: Broadchalke Post Office and shop is the ONE remaining facility in the entire Chalke Valley. If the Post Office facility is closed or down-scaled, it will put the shop at risk. If this goes, there's nothing left in the valley and overtime not only will the sense of community die, but also the local tourist economity will be significantly damaged - what facilities do you look for when booking a cottage holidayFlag

Name: Graham And Hilary Connellan on Jan 11, 2008Comments: We fully support this petition. The closure of Broadchalke and other rural post offices in Wiltshire will have a detrimental effect on village life and will be a devastating blow to many older members of the community.Flag

Name: Anne Nason on Jan 13, 2008Comments: Broad Chalke is the central village in the Chalke Valley and has the school for the whole of the valley. This brings custom to the Post Office from all along the valley and means the Post Office should continue to thrive. Everyone should be concerned about cutting down our carbon "footprints" if our planet is to survive for succeeding generations, so forcing us to drive many extra miles to a Post Office is a very short-sighted policy.Flag

Name: Ian And Jan Fowler on Jan 21, 2008Comments: The proposal to close Broad Chalke post office or reduce its service to the community from its present level makes absolutely NO sense (ie Nonsense). The Village lies in the middle of the Chalke Valley with a very restricted bus service to Salisbury or Shaftesbury, both long journeys. This shop with post office is the lifeblood of this valley of 5 villages, none of which has shop/PO facilities because of previous closures. The residents without transport will suffer genuine hardship and distress.Flag

Name: Elizabeth Heaven on Jan 30, 2008Comments: The closure of this valuable post office will have far reaching consequences. The village shop is the only one left in this part of the Chalke Valley and will be adversely affected by the post office closing. We will then lose a valuable point of contact for the surrournding area as notices are viewed here, tickets for local events are sold, and friends meet up as well as doing their shopping etc. The nearest alternatives are 6d Handley and Fovant, neither of which are on a bus route, so the many elderly and non-drivers who rely on the Post Office at the moment will suffer. We cannot allow this closure, just to suit post office statistics. The school has expanded hugely recently, and people come to it from miles around, but if this becomes village with no facilities, this could easily put people off continuing to do so. Rural life is under threat from the government, so the Post Office should not join in this attack. Rural life and facilities matter!Flag

Name: John Fry on Apr 8, 2009Comments: Why cannot the existing Post Office remain as it is now, but simply operate for fewer hours per week Surely this would cost exactly the same amount to run as the Outreach (if not much less due to the outreach operatives petrol) and also save the Post Office the expense of any physical change to the premises & associated changeover costs. Switch your Brains on Post Office Counters!Flag
