Congratulations to those responsible for cuting our bus services and closing our Chandler's Ford post office.

Until now I have been able to use the Red Rocket C service to shop in Eastleigh and walk to our post office.

Now, alas, I will have to use the car for both and considerably increase my annual mileage as well as my expenditure.

But best of all I will be forced to increase my carbon footprint which I had been trying so hard to reduce.

It goes to show that all the Government's talk of reducing CO2 emissions is all so much hot air.

ALAN GILBERT, Chandler's Ford.
