My concern is for Norfolk's tourist industry. Many Norfolk holiday makers enjoy sending a postcard back to their friends and relatives. Postcards are a great way to promote the county as they often picture the outstanding beauty that is the Norfolk countryside and they hang around on people's mantelpieces for months. If Norfolk visitors can not find a Post Office to send their cards then this form of promotion will fade out.
