Park Ward's Focus prediction on Post Office Closures comes true.4.14.45pm GMT Sat 9th Dec 2006
There has been an angry reaction to reports that thousands of post offices are to be closed to save money. About 2,500 and 3,000 post offices - two-thirds of which are in rural areas - are expected to shut, after a government announcement. Royal Mail said the size of the network - which is losing money - depends on the level of government funding. A long battle by campaigners has seen four million people sign a petition calling for rural post offices to be saved. The Government has gradually withdrawn work from post offices leaving then increasingly uneconomical. You can no longer renew a TV licence at a post office and the Post Office Card account has just been closed. The Park Ward November Focus had a petition to the Home Secretary to keep the Post Office Card which was signed by a very large number of signatures. The Focus warned that more post offices were likely to close.
