Rejected petition Stop the closure of post offices
Our local banks have closed , people use the post office instead of the bank ! Local businesses use it as well as the community !
Intervene and protect our high street , our community and our jobs
More details
The local community meet in local places , a post office Que is one of those! We see the same people behind the counter. The elderly recognise them and feel safe ! It’s a passport office too for mums to get photos done and fast tracked and so much more! Everyone will have to go into the city for a post office . Not good for the environment
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Decisions about closing individual post offices are a decision for the Post Office.
The Government set the minimum access criteria which states that 99% of the UK population are required to be within three miles of their nearest Post Office outlet.
You could start a petition to change that requirement, if that's what you'd like.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
