they say its TBA, the post office staff are Mccolls staff but claim theyre being kept in the dark on this ,  but apparently the post office reduction of services could happen in weeks ......there is only one staff member in the full post office now.....but services may shift to the tiny ' post' counter by the door...

MCCOLLS WANT TO DOWNGRADE POST OFFICE SERVICES NOW, i was told by a staff member last week....

 they wish to simplify post office services now - long before their lease is up , IF this goes ahead we MAY loose the following services from CSP post office

ALL PASSPORT SERVICES- check n send, passport renewals forms Etc

ALL FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE SERVICES

INTERNATIONAL DRIVING LICENCES / PERMITS

MONEYGRAM FACILITY

DVLA services  NO MORE  V documents, NO MORE ROAD FUND LICENCES

we will end up with a stamps/ post parcel only type counter with very little else,

not sure about  energy key recharging, banking etc ?? -  staff are asking customers to make their feelings known by logging onto www.postoffice.co.uk/feedback  quoting office number 0569461
or by calling 0800 472322

denham has no post office.....we may go that way soon....Thumbs Down

I believe Mccolls is closing down.

It's a free country, adopt whatever PC stance you want. Just don't tell me which stance I should take just because it clashes with your opinion.

certainly quicker and friendlier service up at chalfont common post office, the one in mccolls is so hit and miss, sometimes 2 staff often only one, 

service slow too... just not great really, especially as it may be our only post office soon, and i hear mccolls are not renewing their lease and post office may move to the co-op?

That is a shame, useful addition on the Chalfont Common side of the village.

They have put in a planning application to convert the shop into a residential house, perhaps their heart is no longer in the business.
