Re: Post Office Closures

I voted no, if they aren't making profit then they aren't being used by enough people.

The services that PO's provide have been taken on by other businesses or institutions mainly, and so the use of PO's has decreased.

A Post Office should be available within a certain radius in my opinion accessible by public transport, NOT on foot. With the correct placement of PO's there should be no reason for people to struggle to access the PO and hopefully it would also get rid of the smaller ones that are only being used by a few individuals.

Also, there would not necessarily need to be a major loss in jobs as bigger post offices located this way would be used by more people, and so the staff coul just be transferred to these in most cases. Obviously there will be a few losses but effectiveness in terms of service and financially is the ideal outcome, not just service. We can't afford to be throwing money away and spending money on revival of a fallen business.

But I know Cyfr hates this because he shouted at me earlier, and I can't keep coming back on this argument because as I have already said to him, I just don't really care enough about the PO.

So that's my worth on the subject.
