Closures

There are 308 Post Office branches in Greater Glasgow, Central Scotland and Argyll & Bute.

The Post Office claimed that under the area plan proposals 99.9% of the population would either see no change to their nearest branch or will remain within one mile of an alternative branch.

The plan includes proposed "outreach" services in three communities in rural Stirlingshire - Buchlyvie, Thornhill and Gargunnock.

Possible types of outreach service could include a mobile service, a restricted hours service or a partner agreement within the premises of a local shop.

Post Office Ltd's Network Development Manager for Scotland, Sally Buchanan, said: "Taking the decision to close any Post Office branch is always very difficult and we know will cause concern to many of our customers.

"We want to ensure that everyone who uses, relies on or has any concern with Post Office services is both fully aware of the changes we are proposing to meet UK Government requirements, and able to give views on how accessible services will be in the future."
