More information about Ferryhill which demonstrates an ongoing loss but in the second instances at least it points
out a problem with staff training.

Hi Lesley

The last one this week and then I am on leave for a week. These are the two visits that have direct reference to
losses although some from earlier years allude to problems with balancing.

The postmaster at these office are being called as defence witnesses for a trial that questions the integrity of the

Dear Mandy,

Mr Castleton has witnessed summonsed:

1. Bajaj

2. The subpostmaster at Ferryhill sub post office, West End, Ferryhill, County Durham; and 3. Mr Alan Brown,
Grangemouth sub post office, Falkirk, Scotland.

I'm up to speed on the Bajaj case but wonder if you could find out what the other 2 have complained about and
whether there are any proceedings afoot.

Kind regards.
