Your local Post Office is under threat. Over the last 20 years, post offices have been closing at a rate of over 300 a year. Under NuLab 4,000 branches have closed.
NuLab has now announced that it will scrap key contracts for pension and benefit payments using the Post Office Card Account, worth £1 billion of income for post offices.
The future looks bleak for post offices, both urban and rural. Third Way has called for:-
The retention of Post Office Card Accounts for Benefit Payments
A legal requirementfor the Government to maintain the local Post Office network
