	Post office - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A post office is a facility (in most countries, a government one) where the public can purchase postage stamps for mailing correspondence or merchandise, and also drop off or pick up packages or other special-delivery items.
		Post offices also rent post-office boxes to people and businesses who prefer not to have mail delivered to their home or office.
		In many countries, post offices include other functions, such as a place to pick up various government forms, to apply for passports and driving licences to send money to others, etc. In some countries, the post office functions as a financial bank and/or a central place to use public telephones.

		The only thing that the Post Office could have taken away from the public meeting was the fact that the post office was a much-needed facility in the area.
		Proposals that Post Office Ltd. makes for closures under the programme are determined by how many offices are close to each other in the area, the current and projected business volumes and whether individual sub-postmasters have already indicated that they want to leave the network.
		Post Office officials visit every area, walk in the area, and make a study of the configuration of the offices and of local factors before submitting a proposal.

		That is an impossible situation, in which none of the sub-postmasters can make a decent living, none can afford to invest in their shop or post office to make it more attractive to customers, and all are chasing and competing for a hitherto dwindling band of customers.
		In Germany, the number of post office branches has been reduced from 30,000 to 13,000 as a consequence of changes in customer behaviour.
		We have invested a substantial financial commitment to providing compensation for sub-postmasters who are leaving their businesses, as well as investment for those who are staying, to ensure that the remaining post offices are better and more attractive to customers.

		Though it is essential for post offices to have a long term future, every possible avenue must be explored to bring this about with a minimal number of closures - by expanding the facilities provided or considering the amalgamation of post offices with other retail outlets.
		Sub-post offices are not owned by the Post Office but small businesses that receive a fee from the Post Office for the services they provide.
		I urge everyone who values their local post office to use the facilities there - particularly by opening post office card accounts or using the convenient banking facilities that post offices now provide on befalf of many other banks.
