Had this sent in an email today -

GRO TO PROVIDE A COLLECT SERVICE FROM SOUTHPORT FROM 30.10.07

It was previously announced that the current facility for customers to
order and collect certificates from Family Records Centre (FRC) would be
withdrawn from November 2007 and there was no intention to provide a
replacement service. However, on 28 September the FFHS and other members
of the FRC Users Consultative Group Meeting User Group were advised by
the GRO's Certificate Services Branch that a certificate collection
service will be available at the GRO office in Southport with effect
from 30 October 2007. Details are still being finalised but this
facility will be available only for orders placed by telephone or post
or by Registration OnLine (ROLO) account holders. It is envisaged that
collection in person will be available from 10.00–16.00 Monday–Friday.

While this is to be welcomed as a small step in the right direction, it
remains to be seen to what extent this meets the needs of users. We will
keep you advised as more news becomes available.

Was that something I passed on Jane? I never know whether the stuff I get is worth knowing.
