I am writing with regard to the proposed closure of the Trinity Street sub-Post Office in Gainsborough. I have lived at the south end of the town since childhood (I am now 89), and remember that we had a local Post Office at the corner of Washington Street, and after many years it moved to the corner of Drake Street and finally round the corner to 153 Lea Road. There used to be a village Post Office at Lea, but when theirs closed many years ago, the Lea Road Office was the nearest, about
Gainsborough is a long struggling town, about 3 miles long and mainly two streets wide, hemmed in on one side by the River Trent and on the other side by the foothills to the Lincolnshire Heights, where an up-hill estate was built during the post-war years.
We have a General Post Office situated in the Co-op Lindsey Centre in the Market Place, and it makes sense to additionally have the Post Office on Ropery Road to the north end of the town and the Post Office on Trinity Street towards the south end of the town.
Bearing in mind that comparatively recently the Lea Road Post Office was closed, I do feel that in all fairness, the Trinity Street Post Office should be retained.
