County council to ask for post office consultation extension
2:40pm Tuesday 24th June 2008
Comments (1)Hertfordshire County Council has asked for an extension to the six week public consultation period for the proposed post office closure in Elstree.
County councillor Richard Roberts, executive member for corporate strategy, said he would speak to managers of the Post Office Network Change Programme at the earliest opportunity.Last Tuesday, Post Office Ltd announced that the High Street branch could be closed as part of Government plans to save money spent on loss-making offices.He said: "The loss of post office facilities in a village is a severe inconvenience for local people and can even lead to the closure of the only village shop."The public consultation period of six weeks has started and that really does not give local communities enough time to decide how closure will affect them."
