Drayton Post Office – Proposed Changes

The Parish Council has received the attached consultation from the Post Office on proposed changes, including a further physical re-arrangement of the interior counters, longer opening hours etc.

The deadline for public responses is Friday 8th Jan (this Friday). Anyone can respond online at www.postofficeviews.co.uk and enter the branch name or code. Could you each do this individually and encourage others to do so by Friday?

The PC has responded:

–          Welcoming extending opening hours

And asking:

–          for the facia to be refurbished at the same time (being sought by Drayton2020 under the Drayton NDP)

–          for a free cash machine, preferably ‘through the wall’

–          that the cheque cashing facility be retained

–          that the physical changes not be to the financial or operational cost of the shop owner, or that the viability of the wider business be adversely affected

–          that the closure period for the refurbishment be minimised and the shop owner compensated for any loss of business
