Motion · S1M-03955 · 25 Feb 2003
Reorganisation of Post Offices
The motion
That the Parliament notes the value of sub-post offices to local communities, particularly in deprived areas; welcomes Her Majesty's Government’s decision to provide funding to compensate local sub-postmasters for the cost of closures and to improve remaining post offices; acknowledges that, whilst there is not enough business to sustain the current number of post office branches, cognisance must be taken of local need and a growing elderly population, and urges the Post Office to ensure that full consultation takes place, taking into account the needs of local communities and involving local residents and elected representatives, over changes to local provision.
