The last post office in Kemp Town, in St George's Road, has long been due for closure.

New premises were found nearby in the basement of St George's Church, which already contains a community centre. However, the planning committee of Brighton

and Hove City Council has refused planning permission.

An appeal is being made but I am told if this fails, there will be no post office in Kemp Town.

The inconvenience this will cause, especially to pensioners such as myself, is immeasurable.
