Scores of people have already signed a petition calling on the Post Office to install a counter at a convenience store on the outskirts of Oakham.

Devinder and Inderjit Gill, who own Briars Convenience Store in Churchill Road, Oakham, believe an extra counter is needed for people living in the south and west of the town.

They have twice applied to the Post Office to install a counter in their shop, but so far have been unsuccessful. So they decided to start a petition to show demand was there.
