There, a new campaign will launch whereby people will be asked to pick up a ‘Save Lewes Post Office’ postcard and write their reasons for wanting to save the historic branch.

The postcards will then be sent to Paula Vennells, CEO of Post Office Ltd, and Roger Gale, general manager for the Crown and WHSmith Network at Post Office Ltd.

A public meeting will also be held in the Elephant and Castle on Monday evening (April 18) from 7.30pm.
