Saturday 12th September 2009 sees the closure of the Co-op store at Stantonbury Shops and with it the Post Office.
Since the beginning of June when I first heard that the store was to close I have been trying to make sure we are not left without a food store or Post Office.
Sainsbury's have tried to entice the Co-op to stay even offering them a rent free lease but with no luck.
The Post Office have posted a Branch Temporary Closure notice and I quote from an e mail I have received from them
" I can assure you that we will continue to work to find a solution that will provide a Post Office presence in the community of Stantonbury. "
This would depend on another retailer offering them a bit of space in there store.
So where does this leave the resident who rely on this centre.
Well and truly up the creek.
I have asked Sainsbury's to re open the store with a mini Sainsbury's and a Post Office as this is what the residents want and NEED.
Surly this would not be too difficult for a large company like Sainsbury
I am arranging to meet with folks at the Stantonbury Shops on
SATURDAY 12th SEPTEMBER at 9.30am
and may be I will be able to let them know what is going to happen.
