Overview and Scrutiny Committee to discuss Post Office proposals
The future of the district's Post Offices will be discussed at the next meeting of Lancaster City Council's Overview and Scrutiny Committee.
The future of the district's Post Offices will be discussed at the next meeting of Lancaster City Council's Overview and Scrutiny Committee.
Last year the Post Office announced that it was reviewing the future provision of its branches across the country.
The proposals for Lancashire will be revealed on Tuesday January 22 and there will then be a six week consultation period.
Due to the importance of Post Offices in our community, Lancaster City Council is keen to play a role in the consultation.
On January 30 the council's Overview and Scrutiny Committee has invited Mark Wright, regional development manager, and Julia Young, senior external relations manager, from the Post Office to outline the proposals.
Chris Thirkettle from Post Watch, an organisation which is scrutinising the proposals and consultation process, will also be in attendance.
Coun Stuart Langhorn, chairman of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee, said: "Our meeting will provide an opportunity for members of the public to hear, first hand, the proposals for the Post Office in this area. People will then have a chance to make a response to what they have heard."
The meeting will take place at Morecambe Town Hall from 6pm and everyone is welcome to attend.
If you would like to the opportunity to speak at the meeting then please contact Democratic Services on (01524) 582047, or alternatively email scrutiny@lancaster.gov.uk.
