The news that the Pontrhydyfen sub-postmaster has had to bring his retirement forward because of ill-health has left the whole valley with no post office facilities until the new sub postmaster in Tonmawr has been trained or a replacement found for Ponthrhydyfen. People wanting any post office services between now and the New Year will now have to travel to Neath or Port Talbot to do so. Those who draw their pensions in cash will be in some difficulty if they have not nominated an alternative post office which has remained open.
The situation could have been foreseen, yet Post Office Services had no contingency plans in place.
Add to this the probability that the temporary GP surgery facilities in Tonmawr will be withdrawn because they cannot be connected to broadband internet (whatever happened to the initiiative to bring broadband to the whole of Wales?), and you have a picture of New Labour taking people outside the towns and cities for granted.

Yes Frank, it is indeed tragic that the Pelenna valley has become the latest in a long line of Valley communities to be neglected by the ruling Labour Party. Perhaps (hopefully for their sake) the people of The Pelenna will shock them at the next election? Very similar to Blanau Gwent - Me thinks!
