Post Office Closures - Is there another way?
Liberal Democrats at North Yorkshire County Council are asking the ruling Conservatives to look at what Essex County Council are doing to try to save Post Offices.
This is an interesting proposal and merits further investigation particularly where the affected local communities across North Yorkshire are showing a commitment to supporting their local Post Office.
Mark says “It cannot be an open cheque book but the County Council needs to liaise with Parish Councils (who can levy a rate) and District Councils to see whether individual communities should receive support. The County Council for instance has mobile library services serving communities across the County area already.
We do know that some of the Post Offices proposed for closure are viable and that axing them is just to meet the arbitary 2500 closures that the Government have imposed on Post Office”.
