The Post Office Network Change Programme

In December 2006 the Government initiated a 12 week national public consultation on a range of proposed measures to modernise and reshape the Post Office Network and put it on a more stable footing. Further details of this consultation and the Government response to the findings are available here.  In essence, the Government will provide £1.7b to 2011 to support the necessary changes.  Post Office Ltd are currently drawing up area plans for closures and other changes in service provision.  Nationally there will be about 50-60 area plans based predominantly on groupings of parliamentary constituencies.  Individual area plans will then be subject to a 6 week consultation period.   Find out more about the process here.

Proposals for Post Office closures affecting Gloucestershire & Oxfordshire were made public on 5 February 2008.    It has been agreed that Ashbury Post Office will remain in the Network.
