Those who wish to see a bigger picture can look at Flickr for it.

The process of reducing the Sub Post Office network from about 18,000 to 4,500 outlets is continuing with silly decisions to close down profitable outlets continuing to be made.

Our local post office was closed despite it always being busy.Our MP managed to save 1 post office uphill.

The problem is the main PO can't handle the number of people using it now. There are huge queues and they actually block the main shopping centre as people are queuing outside of the CO-OP.
