Start of consultations on post office closures
Today is the starting day for the first public consultations on post office closures. The Government has charged Post Office Ltd with closing up to 2,500 post offices throughout the UK (500 of which will be replaced by ‘outreach’ services).
Kent, East Midlands, East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire are the first affected areas, with 180 proposed closures and a further 35 existing branches proposed to be replaced by outreach services. Consultations for these areas finish on 12 November. Postwatch will be active during consultation scrutinising Post Office Ltd’s proposals, and ensuring customers give their comments. Our final views will be available on our website at the end of consultation.
Every part of the UK will be affected by the programme, and Postwatch urges customers to find out when local consultation will take place in their area, and to get involved.

The people on strike are disrupting my life and costing me money. Is there anything constructive the public can do to show our disappointment to these people that refuse to work?
My company regularly used Royal Mail Special delivery, due to the speed and cost.
Since the strike action, i have looked else where for delivery methods, but the cost are too much for a small company.
Unfortunatly now I am unable to tell customers when they are able to receive their goods. This is effecting my business!
Although I understand the concerns of the CWU, they need to realise that long term without modernisation of Royal Mail, they could all be out of a job.
