I know residents are concerned about potential closures to post office services in Forest Hill.
I have written to TG Jones and the Post Office for further clarity and to ask what plans have been put in place to mitigate disruption.

Yesterday, I met with TfL representatives and raised our brilliant community petition about extending the 63 bus route. I’ll continue to push for this change that I know would greatly benefit many in our local community.
Our hardworking councillors in Peckham Rye Vikki and Renata have been campaigning to extend the 63 Bus route to Honor Oak Park Station.
This weekend they handed our petition to @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social, thank you to the over 700 people who have signed so far!

This Sunday, Thameslink, Southern, Great Northern and Gatwick Express will transfer into public ownership, to "deliver more reliable, passenger-centred services across the rail network."
Plans include doubling trains to Gatwick Airport each hour and recruiting more drivers to reduce cancellations.

Extending the 63, to at least go past Honor Oak Park station, would be very welcome! 🤗
It was great to be out in Peckham Rye and Dulwich Hill supporting our fantastic @southwarklabour.bsky.social our candidates.
Lots of casework and speaking to lots of people about extending the 63 bus to Honor Oak!🚏
Thank you to Richard Hermer for joining us as well.
