THE Post Office claims that customers of a branch facing the axe willhavetowalk only half a mile 'alonglevelterrain' to get to another branch. But in fact the journey takes half an hourand means a difficult walk down a steep slope and a return climb.
The community around Bailgate post office in Lincoln was recently 'consulted'over plans to axe the branch in the New Year. The post office sits at the topof aptly named Steep Hill, which is between Lincoln Cathedral, which towersabove the city, and Lincoln Castle.
The main branch, which was suggested as an alternative, is inside a Coop storein City Square shopping centre.
