Local Post Office branches are so important for people in our community, and I’m incredibly disappointed that following the closure of Post Office branches in Hoyland (July 2019) and Darfield (November 2019), the branch in Wombwell is now set to close in July 2020.
On each occasion, the Post Office have provided assurances that the closures would be temporary, and they would attempt to find a new location to maintain services in these areas. However, services have not yet been restored in Hoyland or Darfield, and I am concerned that the same will now happen in Wombwell.
I have written to the Post Office to outline my concerns, and I will continue to push for local branches to be reinstated in our community as soon as possible.
