PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
Post Office services in Wellington, Somerset (22 July 2024)

Motion Details

That this House is concerned about the lack of any Post Office in Wellington, Somerset with a population of 16,000 people many of whom lack access to a car and who rely on the town centre to meet their needs; urges the Government to expand its Cash Access UK Banking Hubs to also provide Post Office services in areas without them; expresses concern about the confusion resulting from the Post Office opening and operating Banking Hubs, often with the Post Office logo above the door, which do not provide Post Office services; notes the considerable economies that could be derived from Hub staff being resourced and trained to provide Post Office alongside banking services; and supports all the efforts of Wellington Town Council to encourage and support the restoration of a Post Office to the town.
