Summary

We are seeking views on the accessibility of post offices, the services available, and the role of communities in the future of the network.

This consultation ran from
11am on 8 November 2016 to 11:45pm on 21 December 2016

Consultation description

Government provides funding to maintain a national network of post office branches that is accessible to everyone. We want you to tell us what you expect from the post office network.

Your responses will be used to help determine the funding provided to the post office after the existing agreement with Post Office Limited ends in 2018.

We are not proposing any changes to the network through this consultation.
