Replace the Post Office with an independent not-for-profit body

What the petition asks
We want the legislation governing the Post Office to be amended to replace the current Post Office with a new, independent, not-for-profit body that has more robust accountability mechanisms.
We believe the Post Office is not fit for purpose, has lost the support of many of its users, and appears to have little concern for its employees or agents.
We want a new structure and leadership team to be established, which is more accountable to Parliament and the public.
