HUNDREDS more residents have backed a camapign to save a town's Crown Post Office.

The Post Office announced last year that they were exploring options to close the post office building in Newhaven High Street and move services into a nearby shop.

But campaigners fear that the move will mean a drop in services available to them in a town which lost its last bank branch in 2014 and three sub post offices in recent years.

Conservative, Liberal Democrat and Labour politicians have all spoken out against the plans which they warn will be another hammer blow.

Jennifer Jones, from Church Hill in Newhaven, has already collected around 1,000 signatures opposing the move and gathered hundreds more while protesting in Newhaven High Street on Saturday.
