MP Angela Smith was raging today after it was revealed yet another post office in her constituency will close.
The Corringham branch in Lampits Hill is the latest casualty and the third branch to be axed in the past two months.
Its imminent shutdown follows hot on the heels of Lee Chapel South branch in Kibcaps and Great Berry in Nightingales, Langdon Hills.
And the closure comes in the face of fierce opposition from Labour's Basildon and East Thurrock MP plus dozens of residents who sent objection letters and petitions to Post Office HQ.
Mrs Smith fumed: "I am absolutely disgusted. They have not listened to what people have said.
"I sent in two petitions with hundreds of signatures on and I know a lot of people who personally wrote in."
