LAST year, my business was suffering from a gradually worsening postal delivery service with deliveries getting later in the afternoon each day.

After many fruitless complaints to the post office, we eventually contacted our local MP, Anne McIntosh. Shortly afterwards we received a copy of the letter which she sent to the postmaster general and our postal delivery service is now substantially better (thank you also Mrs Peacock and Mr Popham).

I find it reassuring to know that we are represented in Parliament by a very competent lady, who also takes the time and effort to address issues affecting small, local businesses.
