SAVE OUR POST OFFICE

UTILITY COMPANIES TO PAY FOR DISRUPTION
Under plans announced by Boris Johnson and Wandsworth Council, utility companies will be charged when they dig up our streets. Kim Caddy says: "Locally we've seen terrible disruption caused by digging up our roads. I am delighted Boris Johnson and Wandsworth Council are taking such firm action. Some road works are necessary, but we shouldn't tolerate unnecessary delays."
