From "Your Shepway": Post Office consultation is a Sham

Lynne Beaumont, leader of Shepway Liberal Democrats, has railed against the proposed Post Office closures in the district. "Over the last eight years Folkestone and Hythe have already lost 10 post offices, and under this new wave of cuts we face losing another five," she said.

"Last year, the value of services withdrawn by the Government equalled £168 million, while Post Office Ltd made an operating loss of £111 million."

Ms Beaumont doubts that the Post Office will listen to concerns. "I believe this consultation to be a sham," she said.
