Letter: Keeping up Horsham's community spirit
It is an important fact that change can adversely affect the circumstances of people with disabilities.
A good example of this was reported concerning mobility scooters at the new Post Office in Horsham; this could be regarded as a predictable problem for 21st century shopping malls, rather than being specific to one outlet.

Hide AdSurely, it is most fundamentally a question of human relations and community values.
The very idea of a ‘ban’, for the afflicted mobility scooter operator, at our post office could also be regarded as a semantic problem.
Given that Horsham community is ‘going places’, we should retain some of the older sensibilities that have been characteristic of Horsham.
I for one, would like to retain/revive the Sunday convention of saying, ‘Good morning’, to passers-by on one’s morning constitutional; this would be good for the Horsham community spirit.
