]]> Fri, 12 Dec 2008 11:36:01 UTC 4664562 Mr Fred Mackintosh [Signature #67] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4644956?utm_medium=rss Oxgangs Post Office serves significant parts of the Edinburgh South Constituency. Residents of Greenbank use it as an alternative to queuing at Morningside and it significantly easier to access than Buckstone post office for residents of Swanston who suffered from the closure of Fairmilehead Post Office in 2004. Of course the wider issue of service families associated with the units at Dreghorn and Redford Barracks should not be forgotten too.

]]> Sun, 7 Dec 2008 04:19:22 UTC 4644956 Mr Barrie Dear [Signature #66] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4623748?utm_medium=rss Thu, 4 Dec 2008 10:56:45 UTC 4623748 Mrs Julia Murray [Signature #65] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4551149?utm_medium=rss This is a vital amenity to the local population.
Those who are frail or without a car are marginalised and have restricted access to facilities the rest of the population take for granted.

]]> Tue, 2 Dec 2008 05:56:15 UTC 4551149 Mrs Margaret Clarkson [Signature #64] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4547433?utm_medium=rss The nearest post offices to Oxgangs are Colinton & Colinton Mains. Neither of these have adequate or accessible parking, whereas Oxgangs has both on street parking and a car park. This makes it much more convenient when posting parcels etc. I have been in the Post Office twice in the last week and have had to wait in a queue on both occasions so there is obviously a lot of custom in the area.

]]> Mon, 1 Dec 2008 03:46:23 UTC 4547433 Mr. Norman Jamieson [Signature #63] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4545309?utm_medium=rss Since the closure of Fairmilehead PO, this is my nearest branch. Service has always been very good and staff helpful and courteous. Also much used by people in the Oxgangs are and the nearby Army barracks at Dreghorn and Redford. Our community needs this Post Office.

The nerve of them.

Those who have ordered the closures have never even contemplated how all those objector s will manage. They should physically get out there and try it. on two feet.

]]> Mon, 17 Nov 2008 05:57:58 UTC 4495234 Richard Baxter [Signature #49] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4494937?utm_medium=rss THIS POST OFFICE IS VITAL FOR LOCAL COMMUNITY INCLUDING WIVES OF SERVICEMEN LIVING AT REDFORD & DREGHORN BARRACKS

]]> Mon, 17 Nov 2008 04:23:40 UTC 4494937 Mr Gordon Davies [Signature #48] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4494784?utm_medium=rss Mon, 17 Nov 2008 03:42:22 UTC 4494784 Anonymous [Signature #47] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4494778?utm_medium=rss Don't close anymore post offices!

]]> Mon, 17 Nov 2008 03:39:22 UTC 4494778 Mrs Lynsay Crawford [Signature #46] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4494738?utm_medium=rss Mon, 17 Nov 2008 03:27:33 UTC 4494738 Debi Cicero [Signature #45] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4494701?utm_medium=rss Mon, 17 Nov 2008 03:12:51 UTC 4494701 Mrs Catherine Mein [Signature #44] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4493371?utm_medium=rss Our Family Business (Stevenson-Reeves Ltd) is located at 40 Oxgangs Bank. We use the post office every day and its closure would cause considerable inconvenience and extra expense as goods would daily have to be sent by courier instead.

]]> Sun, 16 Nov 2008 05:38:21 UTC 4493371 Dr John Duffus [Signature #43] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4493026?utm_medium=rss The Oxgangs Post office is essential for communication with our servicemen in iRaq and Afghanistan. Parcels etc play an essential part in maintaining morale in our forces under very difficult conditions and in mortal danger. Closing this Post Office is an attack on our servicemen from those whom they defend and a source of shame.

]]> Sun, 16 Nov 2008 04:21:26 UTC 4493026 Mrs Joanna Hodgson [Signature #42] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4492808?utm_medium=rss Sun, 16 Nov 2008 03:24:52 UTC 4492808 Ms Julie Ward [Signature #41] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4487764?utm_medium=rss Sat, 15 Nov 2008 10:02:51 UTC 4487764 Mr Sas Martinez [Signature #40] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4481736?utm_medium=rss Fri, 14 Nov 2008 04:49:02 UTC 4481736 Mr Stephen Lynch [Signature #39] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4481500?utm_medium=rss Fri, 14 Nov 2008 04:02:37 UTC 4481500 Ms Moira Fenning [Signature #38] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4477624?utm_medium=rss This service is of vital importance for the carers and those they care for living in the oxgangs area. The majority of whom are disabled and would find it impossible to walk or get on a bus to either colinton or Colinton Mains Post office. Why should oxgangs lose yet another vital service.

]]> Thu, 13 Nov 2008 10:33:48 UTC 4477624 Mrs Jane Campbell [Signature #37] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4477420?utm_medium=rss oxgangs post office is handy well used and well situated, if this was to close a lot of people in the area will become very isolated this post offfice is more than a shop its a place where local people young and old all meet for a chat and the staff are very helpful and friendly

]]> Thu, 13 Nov 2008 09:54:27 UTC 4477420 Ms Lorna Hoy [Signature #36] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4475784?utm_medium=rss Thu, 13 Nov 2008 03:56:13 UTC 4475784 Ms Sheila Duncan [Signature #35] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4472219?utm_medium=rss Wed, 12 Nov 2008 10:12:50 UTC 4472219 Pat Coburn [Signature #34] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4472128?utm_medium=rss Wed, 12 Nov 2008 09:53:03 UTC 4472128 Ms Claudia Esslinger [Signature #33] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4472018?utm_medium=rss Wed, 12 Nov 2008 09:25:21 UTC 4472018 Mr David Stewart [Signature #32] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4472004?utm_medium=rss Wed, 12 Nov 2008 09:21:05 UTC 4472004 Mr Sagi Iluz [Signature #31] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4471868?utm_medium=rss Wed, 12 Nov 2008 08:49:48 UTC 4471868 Miss Mirren Vanko [Signature #30] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4471862?utm_medium=rss Wed, 12 Nov 2008 08:48:48 UTC 4471862 P I Podd [Signature #29] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4471003?utm_medium=rss It is essential this post office is kept open. This area is a very forgotten area and lacks a lot of amenities. The post office serves as a gathering point for local people and is well used. It would be difficult for a numbner of local people to have to travel to the nearest post office for their essential business.

]]> Wed, 12 Nov 2008 04:51:28 UTC 4471003 Miss Kirsty Douglas [Signature #28] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4470853?utm_medium=rss Wed, 12 Nov 2008 03:51:15 UTC 4470853 Mrs Margaret Ramsay [Signature #27] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4470503?utm_medium=rss Do not take away this facility which is vital to the Army Community. My husband is a soldier and I worked at Dreghorn Barracks as an Information Officer for Forces families for 6 years. This Post Office is a vital means of communication between Army Families and the Barracks who are dependent on it.
Whilst soldiers are serving and fighting for their country we must fight for the welfare of this community and the closing of this Community asset.

]]> Tue, 11 Nov 2008 03:47:30 UTC 4466389 Mr D Davies [Signature #12] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4464865?utm_medium=rss I think its disgusting that over 4 years ago folk were encouraged to open new Post Office accounts so that they may have their benefits paid into this new PO account. Now they are busy closing PO Branches so that folk may not draw their benefits from local PO and have to go to bigger branches open in town.

Also where are folk to obtain stamps/weigh letters/post parcels/ send recorded letters/ Postal Orders/have GIROs paid/ etc,etc without going into town.

She would never manage to go any further than this.

It is particularly important where there is no bank, as at Oxgangs.

Time to stop it.

I am now an OAP becoming disabled with osteoarthritis, and find it increasingly difficullt to walk far on icy streets or use buses in wintery weather. This is the highest area of Edinburgh, with steep streets above the snow line. Neighbouring services including the post office and the parade of shops and services it helps to support through its banking facilities are a lifeline for carless OAPs like myself living on a small pension.
