same here AFAIK my local office is going to close also..
funny thing is they have been reducing the level of service gradualy over the last year or so...can't buy my TV license there any more...and other small changes all of this eats away at the statistical numbers of people walking over the door step..so in a way depending on how you interpret the thing..making it easier to justify the closure...less and less people use it so close it...strange thing is that they have made it less and less usefull during the same period of time...

:hmm: mind you any government that can get away with restricting access to the NHS on the basis of lifestyle..smoking ..weight issues etc etc....is wandering into some pretty sketchy areas..even if they can justify it on some sort of vaguely esoteric moral grounds..it's still outside their brief to judge the populations right to public service on moral grounds...pretty sketchy stuff..if we're short on cash to fund the services then fine...we're short on cash
