Kingswood: last Post Office to close, mail delays reported, dealer jailed

Kingswood Voice reports the upcoming closure of Kingswood's last Post Office, residents' complaints about parcel delays, and the jailing of a man described as a wholesale drugs dealer.

[1][2][3] The Post Office counters at TG Jones in Kings Chase Shopping Centre will close on 18 November, with the store closing on 24 November, meaning the end of Post Office provision on Kingswood High Street; MP Damien Egan has vowed that he and his team will work hard [1]. Separately, residents have complained of parcel delays of up to several weeks due to staff shortages, with packages transferred from Kingswood depot to Keynsham depot [2]. In a third report, the paper said Ellis Kow, 25, was jailed for running a 'wholesale' drugs business from his home and a cannabis factory on a nearby industrial estate, describing him as a key figure in an organised crime group with drugs that could have made £1.1 million in profits [3].
