Broad Chalke Post Office currently serves many people in its direct locality as well as the villages of Ebbesbourne Wake, Bowerchalke and Bishopstone along with commercial customers, who find the service and convienience an essential for everyday life.  As a result of the closures the nearest Post Office will be Fovant a journey of 5 miles or more which includes a treacherous stretch of road down into the Wylie valley.

Each week Broad Chalke Post Office handles

• Pension and benefit payments for families
• Parcels & Mail
• Bill payments

Unlike many modern businesses or services Sue has strived to provide a personal service to all customers - she knows virtually everyone by name, and people don't feel 'processed' like they may do in other places. Furthermore the Chalke valley is a rural community with many residents representing the most vulnerable in our society being either elderly or infirm. 

The Post Office represents so much more than a place to transact business it represents independence, a place that allows people to stay in control of their lives for longer.  A direct result of closure will result in more people in this rural community becoming dependent on other agencies to help with their everyday life.

On top of this, like many sub post offices, Sue provides a friendly warm atmosphere, advice on the full range of Royal Mail products and services.

The post office is a busy thriving place, the hub of the village, we love it and need it to keep our community whole.
