Good morning – I have some news regarding ‘postie’ Paul. We lived in Great
Coxwell for many years and got to know Paul well. We now live in Fernham, and
I have just spoken to our postman here (also called Paul!) and he has told me
that he is taking over the Great Coxwell round, and the other Paul is going to
be working in Fernham and Shellingford instead. I don’t know if this
information affects the village reaction but thought you should know that it is
just a case of re-organisation. Under the new rules it seems that postmen are
going to have one Saturday in four off, instead of one in six as before. Paul
will not be starting work here for a few weeks (until his ankle is better) –
but we shall of course be very happy to welcome him here when the time comes.
Best wishes, Diana Cowell

May I ask if Paul has been consulted about us writing a letter to his employer?

Is it worth notifying the WhatsApp group, to make sure those who don’t get the
Village Newsletter know about this, too? I believe there are a small number of
people in the village who don’t have internet, who should be told about this,
as well. Does anyone have a list?

Richard, signed and thank you for organising it. Whether they pay a blind bit

Hi folks,
We absolutely agree about Paul!
How about we send a card and letter to the post office along these lines?
A letter to the post office
Dear Faringdon Post Office
We are writing to express our thanks for the tremendous service Paul has given
to our villages and to ask you to reconsider his reassignment.
Everyone has an idea of the perfect postie: someone who will get the message
through come rain or shine, but somehow always has time to stop and chat.
Paul has lived up to that ideal and more. He knows every person and every pet.
He takes a real interest in our lives and our community. He is part of our
community.
We understand that now, after 17 years, Paul may be reassigned to another
round.
With no offence intended to the new person on the Coxwells beat – we are sure
they would be very professional – we are writing to ask you to please keep Paul
on the Coxwells round.
For many of us, whether it’s a break in a busy work day, or a point of contact
on a quiet morning, Paul’s visits are a bright point in the day. It would be a
tremendous loss if those relationships were broken for logistical convenience.
We would be very grateful if you would reconsider so that Paul can remain part
of our Coxwell community.
With thanks and best wishes
XXX XXX
If that would work, we could pop a card and note into the phone box library (is
that OK, Ian?) for people of the Coxwells to sign, then we could drop it off at
the Sorting Office some time next week?
Thanks and best wishes,
Richard & Sophie
(and Merlin, who would miss him too)

No seriously I agree *something* needs to be done. How can 17 years just be

Several of us think we should get up a petition (including Little

dogs aren't happy either!

Hi all
We are relative newcomers to the village, so we haven't known Paul as long as
some, but we feel sad that he is no longer to be our postman.
Does anyone know if there are any plans to club together to get him a card or
present? It feels as though it would be appropriate to do something?
