"No town of a size and population such as Lossiemouth's should ever be left in such a position, and for Royal Mail to claim that they could find no suitable site to accommodate a new sorting office is hard to believe – there are many locations in the town that would be been suitable if they really had a will. "If they go ahead with this then it means the elderly, frail or those not in good health will be the first to suffer, as they may find it difficult enough to get into Elgin far less to have to make a special journey just to collection mail that might as easily turn out to be junk mail given the amount of that Royal Mail seem happy enough to deliver. "Many others are low income families and again paying an additional bus fare to collect mail items is simply not acceptable – this is a community that is planned to grow with hundreds of new homes being planned, it is simply unacceptable that Royal Mail do not recognise that fact." The petition is currently available online.
