Manchester M2 1BB - 003422

Overview

We’re proposing changes to service provision in your area as a result of our plans to close Manchester Directly Managed branch.

Our lease on the premises expires in August 2024 and the landlord has served notice for us to vacate. Consequently, we have reviewed Post Office services in the local area. We believe there is enough provision of Post Office services to meet the needs of customers in the local area who currently use the Manchester branch, without the need for a direct replacement of this branch. The existing provision, in addition to our plans to advertise the opportunity to operate one of our Local style branches in the area, will provide Manchester branch customers with the access to the Post Office products and services they need. Additionally, as part of our continual review of provision across the network, we will monitor customer usage in the local area and look to provide additional services in future, if required.

We’re now starting a period of local public consultation and we’d like you to tell us what you think about access to Post Office services in the area following the closure. We welcome feedback and comments that can help inform our plans. In this survey we will be asking specific questions related to the following areas:

• How easy is it to get to the alternative branches (Question 4)
• Are the alternative branches easy for you to get into and are they easily accessible inside (Question 5)
• Local community issues (Questions 6 - 7)
• General comments (Question 8)
