CARDIFF'S council leader is to snub a drinks party to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Royal Mail's Welsh language scheme – because of the Post Office's closure plans. Councillor Rodney Berman branded the buffet reception with live music at the National Assembly's Crickhowell House building in Cardiff Bay on February 27 as "very insensitive" and has turned down an invitation to go. He said: "The Post Office is part of the Royal Mail group and I don't think it should be holding a celebration party when communities across Wales are being deprived of their post offices. "I could understand more if a new service or facility was being launched but this is an anniversary event. I think a celebration is very insensitive and sends a very bad message to people who will be losing their post offices. "A Welsh language scheme is about improving access for some people. Here, the Royal Mail is celebrating the scheme but many people won't be able to access a post office very easily as a result of closures."
