2,500 Rural Post Office to close

Today the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry Alistair Darling announced that the current post office network of 14,000 branches was unsustainable. It is envisaged that something along the line of 2,500 further branches will have to close.

These branches are likely to be in rural areas where they are needed most. If you are concerned, or you fear your local post office could be under threat, leave a message in the comment section. We hope this blog will act as a focus point for those of us who value the post office network, and want to fight these current plans.
