Labour AM Ann Jones has congratulated Henllan Post Office for its successful application to the new Post Office Diversification Fund. The Post Office is one of the first to be awarded part of a new £4.5m fund to help sub-postmasters and sub-postmistresses diversify and improve their facility. The fund, which will run for three years and is open to every sub post office in Wales, aims to help...

I have been pressing Camden Council to step in and prevent the closure of Albany Street Post Office, also in today's Daily Mirror "Mandy Post Office Shuts." Here's the letter I wrote to the Lib Dem/Tory leadership, normally very active on Post Office issues in the borough, to ask if our lawyers could step in to injuct the Post Office Ltd not to close until a suitable replacement was foun...

Sheffield Attercliffe MP Clive Betts has demanded a high-level meeting with Post Office managers in London following the temporary closure of Tinsley Post Office. Clive Betts said: "I have been in correspondence with the Post Office over many months about the problems of Tinsley Post Office, its very difficult location and the requests by the sub-postmaster for assistance in moving to more appropr...

Nicolson Street Post Office is to close.  The Post Office will today announce that all bar one of the Post Offices earmarked for closure will be closed.  The Nicolson Street Post Office will close - though it is likely that the pharmacy will remain.  The details of the Post Office response to the consultation will be posted here (though at the time of writing the file has not been p...

The Post Office is being really inflexible and insisting on closing a small branch post office on Albany Street, NW1. The post office, based in a popular local pharmacy, serves the Regent's Park estate. The reason? The sub postmaster can't afford to open for just 4 hours on Saturdays any more. Because it is too costly to open on Saturdays, the Post Office have taken the decision to termi...

I've distributed a survey to every house across the Hornsey & Wood Green constituency asking people to record how long they have to queue at the Post Office. I want to get a comprehensive assessment of the level of service following the spate of Post Office closures (five serving the area have gone). The findings of the survey will be presented to the Post Office and - if they show unacceptabl...

Labour’s Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, James Purnell, has announced that the Post Office has been awarded the contract to continue providing the Post Office Card Account (POCA). The Labour Government has taken the decision to help secure a viable Post Office network by awarding the five-year contract directly to the Post Office. Four million people, including two million pensione...

The new ticketing system at Camden Town Post Office is clearly failing. See this picture taken yesterday at 5.30pm with scores of older people and families waiting in line of just standing about until their number is called. Some, who are hard of hearing, might even miss their number unless they are paying close attention. No word yet from the Post Office Limited on a new post office for Regent�...

Victory for local Post Office campaigners in Regent's Park ward! I have just heard that the Post Office have agreed to open a new Post Office Branch at the Londis in Albany Street, NW1 just yards away from the old branch at the Pharmacy. As ward councillor I was very concerned to be informed of the closure of the Albany Street branch of the Post Office on in May this year Readers will remembe...

Tomorrow, Tuesday 19th, the Post Office announces the post offices it plans to close in Edinburgh and the justification. The post office at 79 Nicolson Street is one of the 12 on the list for closure. However there is a 6 week public consultation period and it is believed that decision to include the Nicolson Street post office on the list was marginal. It is owned and run by Mr Mohammad Iqbal alo...
