Post Office Closures - Have your Say

In May 2007 the government announced measures to make the Post Office Network sustainable after carrying out a 12 week national public consultation. This announcement confirmed the compulsory compensated closures of up to 2,500 branches with around 500 of these being replaced through "Outreach" service points. Consultations on these closures would take place regionally over the following 12-18 month period in the Network Change Programme.

On the 29th July 2008 the Post Office Ltd announced the following list of proposed closures as part of the North Wales Area Plan Network Change Programme;

• Acton Park - 36 Rhosnesni Lane
• Bradley - Glanllyn Road
• Rhosrobin - Dodds Lane
• Summerhill - Hill Street
• Marchwiel - Wrexham Road
• New Broughton - New Road
• Ponciau - Bank Street
• Rhos Y Medre - High Street
• Tanyfron - Llwyn Ifor Stores
• Trevor - Llangollen Road

Wrexham County Borough Council is urging Post Office users and members of the public to respond to the proposed closures by signing the online questionnaire.
