'We are being hit hard' - town reacts to triple closure threat

Last week it was revealed that Dereham's Post Office was under threat of closure as part of cost cutting measures across the organisation.

It comes as Toftwood Medical Centre could also be axed at the end of March next year when NHS Norfolk and Waveney's contract with the practice expires.

It also follows in the wake of CDS buying Homebase after it went into administration, with fears the Dereham branch could close.

Anthony Ramm, 66, said Dereham's future "is bleak".
