Your Post Office

Postwatch Scotland is Scotland's independent watchdog for postal services and they are currently conducting a Rural Post Office Survey. It is important that the views of Dairsie residents are heard.

Make sure your contribution is made by filling in the Postwatch Survey form. Dairsie Community Council has arranged for these forms to be available in Dairsie Post Office. Many people have already completed their forms, but not all, so please complete the Survey form and return it to the Post Office where it will be collected by the Community Council and delivered to Postwatch Scotland. All forms must be returned to Dairsie Post Office by the 30th of August 2006.

This is a chance for you to show how important a local Post Office is to Dairsie. Do not miss this opportunity.
