I have recently finished banking all of the Poppy Appeal’s town centre and arcade takings for 2009 and would like to take this opportunity sincerely to thank the staff at Redhill Post Office in Leybourne Avenue/Hillview Road who were so helpful during the fortnight of collecting.

In these times when there is a lot written about service in shops and customer care Barbara and the team at the Post Office are a shining example of good practice. This Post Office is a real part of the community and on behalf of the British Legion and the Poppy Appeal in Bournemouth can I thank you for all the extra work in counting our monies.

Cllr Anne Rey, Setley Gardens, Bournemouth
