Earith is one of seven post offices in Huntingdonshire earmarked to be shut and replaced by an outreach facility following an announcement by Post Office Limited five weeks ago.
However, the residents of the north Huntingdonshire village won't be going down without a fight.

They have also set up a campaign website and held a public meeting which saw about 250 people pack into the village hall to voice their objections.
Earith's sub-postmaster Andy Ballard explained the cardboard boxes were to highlight the loss of the parcel service, along with many other vital services, should the branch shut.

He said: "If it was down to the level of support in Earith, there would be no closure. The response since the news broke has been overwhelming and Earith fully deserves to keep its post office open."

Huntingdonshire will also see post offices closed in Great Stukeley, Catworth, Great Gransden, Great Gidding, Holme and Ramsey St Marys as part of 2,500 branches nationally set to be shut down over the next two years.
MP for North West Cambridgeshire Shailesh Vara has been lending his support to the campaigns to keep all the post offices in his constituency, which includes Earith, open.

He said: "The Earith campaign is one of the strongest there is within this area and the march on Saturday was very impressive. This is community spirit at its best and I'm delighted that people are not simply accepting decisions taken by bureaucrats in London offices, but they are making a stance and making their views absolutely clear to those who make the decisions."

A spokesman for Post Office Ltd said: "We understand the strength of feeling that closing Post Offices can generate. However the Government has recognised that fewer people are using Post Office branches, partly because traditional services, including benefit payments and other services, are now available in other ways, such as online or directly through banks.

"This has resulted in a fall in customer numbers and an increase in financial losses for Post Office Ltd, making the current network unsustainable.
"At this point no decisions have been made on Post Office closures in the area and we welcome all comments and feedback during the public consultation."

>> A public consultation runs until August 26 for residents and community groups to comment on the closures.
