Business owners and residents already feel ‘short changed’ as a result of the move from a main GPO to two till positions at the back of a shop.

It seems to me by moving to another shop and having to negotiate past narrow aisles loaded with merchandise, together with queues at the WH Smith tills, is a long way short of a professional service culture.

I believe with so many retail units available in central Chichester then the obvious decision is to have a stand-alone unit. It does not have to be vast.

I encourage your readers to express their views via email to [email protected]

Alternatively, you can pick up a form from your nearest Post Office.

The closing date for responses is November 14.
