Petition to Protect Rural Post Offices
Our post office and the one in the neighbouring village have closed in recent months, which harms our communities, especially the older residents and those without transport.
I received the attached letter from my member of parliament today, who has started a petition calling on the government to support rural post offices.
It’s not just for folks in Devon, but all UK rural areas. Please sign if you are able.

This guy woke us at 5am this morning. Who knew that peacocks sat in trees?
After a busy Saturday, it was great to get out of the house and do one of our favourite walks from Bulberry Head to Hope Cove, Devon.

Raw sewage pumped into UK waterways for 4.7 million hours in 2024: ‘This will only get worse’
Some 27% of English billpayers have considered withholding their bill payments due to water supplier failings, a survey shows.
England water pollution at a 10-year high, campaigners say.
The number of pollution incidents recorded by water companies in England is at a ten-year high, according to data obtained by campaigners.
Surfers Against Sewage said the Environment Agency data showed the number of incidents was more than double its target.
Such spills have the potential to cause damage to wildlife and illness for people making use of the country’s rivers and seas.
Water UK, the industry body representing UK water and sewage companies, said companies plan to invest £12bn to reduce spills by the end of the decade.
Tide’s out. Polperro, Cornwall on a cold early February afternoon.
