CAN anyone explain why the last collection of mail from our head post office on Sundays has recently been changed to the earlier time of 10.30am in Trowbridge?

Yet Melksham now has a later final collection on Sundays of 12.45pm.

Here we have the ludicrous situation whereby if you are unfortunate enough to just miss the final collection on Trowbridge on a Sunday with any urgent mail you have ample time to drive over to Melksham and catch the post there.

It is yet another example where a facility in the county town is inferior to that of its many smaller neighbouring towns.

A DEWFALL, Trowbridge
