Station Road Post Office to be scrapped

Although the official list doesn't come out until Tuesday, it is now clear that the post office in Station Road, Yate, is on the list to be axed. It is among nearly 30 post offices across the former Avon area to be closed by Royal Mail (for which read the Government)

Another local post office to go is the village post office in Old Sodbury. Together with the one that closed at Brimsham Park when Tesco took over, it means that we will have lost three of our local post offices in four or five years. Nationally 2500 are targeted by the current round of closures.

Which post offices could go in the next round? Abbotswood? North Road? Chipping Sodbury?

Come and join the queues at the main Yate Shopping Centre office. (Can we even assume that this one is safe?)
