The Future Of Post Offices In The UK
The Department Of Trade and Industry (DTI) is currently running
a consultation into the future of the Post Office Network.
The consultation closes for responses on 8 March 2007. the Post Office
network is losing £4million per week having risen from £2 million per week
a year ago. People have moved away from using post offices in favour
of banks for things like pensions payments and benefit payments. The
numbers of customers using post offices on weekly basis continues to fall.
the government has made a number of proposals and these are now included
in the consultation document for comments by the public and other bodies.
With 2500 post offices targeted for closure this will be one of the
biggest changes both for the post office and possibly many rural
areas. Caithness has already seen the introduction of a mobile post
office to replace five post offices. Have you any thoughts about the
possibility of further reductions in the branch network. Send you
