SUB-POSTMASTERS from Swindon are to call on the Government to produce a blueprint for the survival and prosperity of rural and urban post offices.
They will make their call during their annual conference in Scarborough next Monday, demanding a full scale review of the post office network and a brutally frank assessment of current Government policy.
The National Federation of Sub-Postmasters is appealing to Alan Johnson MP, the new Secretary of State of Productivity, Energy and Industry to launch a full-scale review of the Post Office network in the UK.
NFSP General Secretary Colin Baker said: "We don't just want another talking shop review that is soon forgotten.
"Some fundamental and honest decisions must be made about the long-term public service role of the network and how it is to be funded in the 21st century economic environment."
Among the initiatives being advocated by NFSP are a national campaign to promote free banking services, and all banks to offer services at the post office.
