Keep 'em busy
THE Assembly Government is to reopen the Welsh Assembly Government Post Office development fund.
Unlike other European countries we are not doing enough to protect our vulnerable town and country communities.
The Government claim to be working to prevent closures where possible, however, one of the key factors in the decline of post offices is the removal of government business from them. In 2006/07 the value of services withdrawn by the government equalled £168m whilst post offices made an operating loss of £111m.
There are an awful lot of postmasters whose businesses are going to the wall because they do not have enough work.
