Matthew Hancock: Securing the future of our Post Offices in West Suffolk

Matthew Hancock, MP for West Suffolk, has welcomed the news of a 10-year deal between Royal Mail and the Post Office, securing the future of services without resorting to the failed closures programme which dominated Labour’s time in government.

The deal follows the Government’s other measures to protect Post Office services including additional funding, new local and national contracts, a successful piloting scheme to transform many local post offices and improvements in the services offered.

Commenting, Matthew said:

‘I have campaigned to support our Post Offices, which are vital in towns and villages alike. Over the last decade, over 6,500 across the country. I was very pleased to see the Government’s announcement which will help secure the future of the Post Office, which is so important for communities across West Suffolk and indeed the whole country.’
