Department for Business and Trade written question – answered at on 25 October 2024.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many and what proportion of branches within the Post Office network are provided by mobile services.
There are over 11,500 post office branches in the UK. The Government-set Access Criteria ensures that however the network changes, services remain within local reach of all citizens.
Due to lack of premises or retailers within particular areas, permanent solutions are however not always possible. In these communities, outreach branches ensure customers are not left behind and can continue to access Post Office services. Post Office's 2023 Annual Network Report shows that 16.5% (1,924) of the total 11,684 branches are outreach branches.
