The gradual decline in post office services in the village of Ashill will finally be complete in a fortnight when its last remaining two-hour-a-week service comes to an end.
Staff from Watton post office had visited the village, between Swaffham and Watton, twice a week to provide a service in the Call-In centre – a converted coal house – after the permanent post office shut about three years ago.
That service was then scaled back to two hours on a Thursday morning, but this too will stop on Thursday May 17.
Ashill parish council last week heard there was a possibility of an alternative service being found, but that it was unlikely to happen.
Wendy Peckham, who takes notes at the council meetings, said: 'There were often cars outside so it seems it was used quite well and I think it will be missed.'
