Yet another Castle Point post office looks sure to close, a consumer watchdog spokesman said today.

The future of the Victoria House Corner branch has hung in the balance since May.
A Postwatch official said the Hadleigh office would probably be the next casualty of Post Office closures in Essex.
The spokesman said: "We no longer object to its closure. That should not be interpreted as we want to see it closed.
"The fact that the postmaster has expected it will have to close. There's actually little we can so to stop it."
The Post Office has not given official confirmation.
A spokeswoman said there had been talks with Postwatch and a decision was being made.
But David Hicks, who runs the Victoria Corner branch, complained of being left in the dark.
He said: "We're in limbo and we're not happy about it. I don't know anything."
