After the Network Change Programme the future of the post office network

Select Committee Report Published

The NFSP has welcomed today’s publication of the report by the House of Commons Business and Enterprise Committee on Network Change.

The report concludes that it is vital that the Post Office win the contract for the successor to the Post Office Card Account (POCA2) and that the Independent Review of Mail Services and Postcomm must take full account of the effects of reform to mail services on the post office network.

It also calls for a renewed commitment by the Post Office that it will not allow the network to shrink below the 11,500 outlets that will remain after the Network Change Programme has been completed.
