Villagers from Staintondale show their support to save their post office
Words & picture by pete spence pete@thescarboroughreview.co.uk RESIDENTS of Staintondale are hoping to deliver a clear message as they aim to save their local post office. The village has had a post office since the 1930’s but it is now being threatened with closure, and the villagers are not pleased. They have put a petition together to lobby the powers that be into keeping the post office and re-locating it to its original site.
Husband and wife duo Griselda and Frank James have run the post office for the past 30 years and they are determined that it will not disappear. Griselda said: “It is of huge importance that we fight to keep our post office which is an integral part of the community. “It seems that everything is being taking away nowadays due to commercial decisions without considering the effects on those who use the facilities and what it means
to the community. “The proposal is to have somebody run a service a couple of hours a week from the village hall or somebody’s home, but that is not acceptable. We even have a lady ready to step in, Nina Darrington, and a premises to do it from. “My husband runs the Ravenscar part of the service and it is also proposed that they combine the service. We will all be devastated if this happens.” Continued on page 4.
