The following Parliamentary question was asked by Tim Loughton earlier this year. I have taken much of the "Ministerial speak" out to give the plain facts that close to 5,000 post offices have already closed.
Tim Loughton: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many post office branches have closed since 1997; and if he will make a statement. [52011]
Barry Gardiner: ..... Under Post Office Ltd.'s urban reinvention programme, 2,475 sub post offices closed....... Outside of the urban reinvention programme, 2,248 post offices closed between April 1997 and December 2005.
Now another 2,500 - 3,000 are under threat!
