Closed post office - stop the franchising of Crown Offices

Closed on

In the latest round of cuts to the Post Office 20% of the high street branches are being closed and the services franchised. 70 Crown Branches.

We the undersigned are concerned citizens who urge our leaders to act now and put an immediate stop to this, as the facilities at these branches cannot simply be replicated in a booth in a shop. Many people across the country rely on Post Office services and are unable to travel distances for essential transactions.
The elderly and disabled will be seriously effected
