Another Post Office under threat

Tesco are planning to move their Stacks store a mile away in South Road. This store houses a large Post Office which is regularly open on Sundays.

One of the Post Offices being closed following the consultation was in Lochee Road and customers were told it was all ok because they could just walk up the steep hill to the stacks or pay for a bus to get there. Now even that won’t be an option.

This highlights not only the fragility of the current Post Office network following the closure of branches but the short-sightedness of locating Post Office branches inside supermarkets and inside the premises of other private businesses.

Ninewells Parking Charges

Members of Dundee Scottish Socialist Party were again be outside Ninewells hospital
this morning to continue the campaign against unfair parking charges within the hospital
grounds.

Seeing a friend or relative in hospital can be stressful enough without this unfair
added burden says local activist Helen Fortune.

These charges are a galling example of
profit being put before people when the sick, their visitors and staff have what is in
effect an extra tax placed on them. This situation, brought about purely by private
involvement in public services, clearly shows the lack of control the Holyrood government
have when they enter into such partnerships.
