SHOPPERS are still queueing up to sign the petition to keep Littlehampton’s Crown post office in The Arcade, eight weeks after the campaign started.

Organisers were joined on Saturday by Labour candidates for the 2014 European elections, Emily Westley and James Watkins, and by Sheila Dale, of the Communication Workers’ Union (CWU).

Well over 1,000 people have added their names to the petition and it can now be signed in more than 20 town centre shops, including those in The Arcade, whose owners fear they would be badly affected, should the post office move elsewhere.
