The sound of the clock has been the source of many recent phone calls to the Launceston Historical Society since it has attracted media attention and now LCC business.
The LHS would like to register our support for the sound and indeed the historical essence of Launceston to remain in tact and continue.
Members, associates, and indeed travellers at the recent AHA national conference, all commented what a delight it is to hear such a unique sound continue in such a historic regional centre.
The Launceston Post Office is one of the jewels in the crown of Launceston's heritage and indeed it was a sad day when the main Post Office closed after such a long and historical use. For the clock to be silenced or the chimes to be excluded during the night would be to the detriment of a long tradition and indeed landmark sound of Launceston.
Yours Sincerely
Dr Marita Bardenhagen,

I was so embarrassed to be an attendee at this important national history conference and hear this discussion going on between our visiting delegates.
Launceston should be at the forefront of defending heritage matters in Launceston, not trying to stop heritage chimes.
