Press Release from the Herne Hill Society
Save the Herne Hill Sorting Office
The Herne Hill Society is campaigning to save the Sorting/Delivery Office in Herne Hill that Royal Mail plan to close in Spring 2007. This secretive closure exercise has been characterised by misinformation and rumour. There has been no public consultation or announcement. Only through questions from Tessa Jowell our MP have Royal Mail’s plans been finally confirmed.
We strongly object to this move. It will mean transferring operations two miles away to Station Road, Camberwell; relatively inaccessible, needing two buses and a walk, and causing considerable inconvenience to Herne Hill residents collecting undelivered mail. The present office is in the centre of Herne Hill, close to other businesses and shops and for customers, easily accessible on foot and close to bus and rail services.
There will be the environmental impact of extra vehicles on the roads, both transporting mail to Herne Hill from Camberwell and residents using their cars to get to Camberwell safely and quickly.
We are encouraging members and others to send their objections to: Adam Crozier, Chief Executive, Royal Mail Headquarters, 5th Floor, 148 Old St, London EC1V 9HQ
