Paul has been our postman and a cherished member of the Cherry Orchard community for over eight years. He is not just a postal worker; Paul is a trusted friend and an invaluable resource for each one of us here. His presence goes beyond delivering letters and packages; he carries with him an understanding of our estate that is unmatched.

Paul's knowledge of Cherry Orchard is profound. He understands the quirky house numbering, has great knowledge of individual properties, and knows the best, most secure places for leaving parcels. More importantly, Paul has built relationships with many of our elderly and vulnerable residents. He is aware of when they require a little extra care, ensuring they receive their mail safely and timely.

Paul’s  reassignment would not only disrupt our daily life but also remove a layer of security and familiarity that many residents have come to rely on. In a world where personal interactions are becoming increasingly rare, Paul's friendly, dependable presence is a reminder of the community spirit that binds us together.

This petition aims to urge Royal Mail to maintain Paul as our dedicated postman for Cherry Orchard. His intimate understanding of our needs and his personalized care cannot simply be passed on to another. We urge Royal Mail to prioritize the community aspects of its service, recognizing the unique circumstances that make Paul an irreplaceable part of our area.

Join us in preserving the invaluable service Paul provides, and help keep the heart of our community thriving. Save our trusted postman—sign this petition today to protect our local postal service.
