Macclesfield paper backs post office campaign

The Macclesfield Express is supporting the campaign to protect rural post offices from closure. To illustrate the importance of sub-post offices to communities in isolated Cheshire villages the weekly paper (circ. 17,299, and rising!) is running a series of articles about the difficulties postmasters face in trying to keep their businesses going. "There is a deep-seated community spirit... in most of these far-flung outlets", says the Express. (Via Macclesfield Express)
