A petition has been set up in the hope of saving a Post Office in an East Cambridgeshire village.

It comes after One Stop announced that the Sutton High Street branch of the Post Office would be closing next year.

Racheal Hampshire, who launched the petition, said: "They're threatening to close as it's not used much apparently, but every time I've gone in its busy and in use."

So far, 73 people have signed the petition.

A One Stop spokesperson said: “Unfortunately, due to a significant decrease in demand, the Post Office inside our High Street, Sutton One Stop store will be closing.

“We will, however, be opening a Drop and Collect service around the same time as the closure to allow customers to benefit from parcel and bill payment services.

“This has been a difficult decision, however we believe that our customers’ needs will be met through the new offer. This change will take place next year."
