NOW that Charminster has its newly restored bridge and road often mentioned in updates, and indeed a job well done.I should like to thank the unsung heroines/heroes of our village post office and stores.

During six months loss of trade, earnings and inconvenience they continued to deliver a friendly, efficient and professional service, very valuable to so many residents.

It would be heartwarming if someone, somewhere, in officialdom acknowledged this effort, and made a goodwill payment for their business interruption.

We might have lost them.

A grateful customer Charminster
