Brailes Parish Blog

I have been hearing rumours for the past couple of weeks that Brailes’ Post Office is one of those selected for closure by “those upon high”. I heard confirmation this morning that that is indeed the case.

This move will unfortunately cause inconvenience for many people in the parish, but great inconvenience for those who have difficulty with travelling out of the parish. I received an email this morning from Mrs. L. Ancient, which probably reflects the thoughts of many people:-

“I believe that the post office is closing down in our village. Where will we be able to do ‘Post office’ type business, when it finally closes? I believe that the actual shop is to keep on with its trading as a grocers etc.
Your sincerely Mrs. L Ancient”

At present, as far as I am aware, the two nearest Post Offices outside of Brailes are in Shipston-on-Stour, and Sibford, though I am at this time unaware of the situation regarding their longevity…

If anyone should have further information to share, it will be published also.
