Stop Staff Cuts at New Malden Post Office has been a success! Originally, 4 members of staff were lost, which worked out to 110 hours. This resulted in queue times of, in some cases, 50 minutes! (No exaggeration, we recorded the time!) Thanks to our campaign we have had a massive 75.5 hours restored.
The response to our campaign was phenomenal, with the community really getting behind our campaign.
Please don't cut 2 full time and 2 part time members of staff at New Malden Post Office.
We don't want even longer queues! Please STOP the loss of staff hours at New Malden Post Office.
Why is this important?
This petition is important for the simple reason that the Post Office is a vital part of the community in New Malden, and the only 'main' Post Office for a while around. Even a busy town like Kingston no longer has a main Post Office. The Post Office are trying to cut at least three, potentially four members of staff at the end of April, to be replaced by machines in Mid-May. The people of New Malden don't want machines to pay their bills - they prefer interacting with humans over the counter.
DID YOU KNOW? Since 2012, if these plans are to go ahead, the Post Office will have lost 6 members of staff in 2 years - that's 50%! From 12 members of staff, to 6.
Queues are already long enough now in New Malden Post Office, and it can't manage with 4 staff less. We need the Post Office to recruit new members of staff at New Malden Post Office to make up for this staff loss, and to, in effect, save New Malden Post Office.
