My parter is a postman at the Marple Office, having moved from Cheadle. He says that Marple office is a lovely office to work for, and he enjoys his rounds to Marple.
In my opinion as a local to Marple, it would be frustrating if it were to move to Stockport, as there is no parking at the Stockport collection office, there is almost always a que & it's a difficult location to get too! What about the elderly people who will be forced into getting two buses & a long wait at the post office to collect an item. Or the staff who can't drive. Bus passes will cost them £13.50 per week, and a two bus journey? Surely that can't be deemed as fair! Not to mention bus times, for members of staff to get to Stockport office, they'll have to set off much earlier and get to work way before they're due to start due to bus times.
It's a disgrace for this move to be proposed to 'save money'. Having a local Royal Mail is a credit to Marple, well done Mr Wragg for supporting the campaign!
