Wendy Wright and Manager Nigel Terry at  Mailbox are keeping Santa busy with his own personal collection box at their offices in George Yard, Andover. "We've not been too badly hit by the slowdown in the retail sector because we do a lot of business-to-business work," said Nigel.  That postal contract with S Claus may have helped put a smile on their faces!

What are your predictions for 2008? Will whoever left those big concrete balls in the middle of the High Street come back to collect them? Will the guy who sells the Big Issue finally realise he could get a management job in a nice warm office? Will Test Valley Borough Council open a support line for victims of brown-bin-black-bin anxiety syndrome? Will the A303 sink under the weight of Tesco lorries?

Several local Post Offices including Leckford, Anna Valley and Goodworth Clatford are under threat of closure. These Post Offices are a life line to elderly people who cannot easily travel into the town centre to cash their pensions. The town post office is far too overused - the staff try their best but on some days the queues are nearly outside the doors. Help save the local post offices by writing to your MPs at these addresses: Sir George Young MP 2 Church Close, Andover Hants SP10 1DP or Sandra Gidley MP 3a Victoria Place Love Lane Romsey SO51 8DE or you can contact them at the House of Commons London SW1A 0AA  Remember, letters have more influence than signing petitions so please let your elected members know how strongly you feel.
