ANOTHER AXE OVER POST OFFICES!
This week the Commons Business and Enterprise Select Committee is expected to vent its anger against Royal Mail and its refusal to guarantee that it will end the closure programme after the current round of closures going through.
Royal Mail has shut 4,600 branches of the Post Office in recent years, and has recently announced 2,500 more closures which have been met, predictably and understandably, with massive anger and anxiety.
The Royal Mail has refused to guarantee the future of the 11,500 remaining Post Offices and, indeed, has indicated that the criteria which it is looking at for keeping open branches are only met in about 7,500 of the outlets.
It seems that the Royal Mail and its political masters, the Labour Party, will only be happy when communities throughout Wales are deprived of this very valuable economic and social service.
Labour doesn’t seem to care and Plaid Cymru seem powerless to do anything about it.
