"Rural post offices are more than just places to buy stamps. The PO is a crucial facility in a rural community. Many, especially the elderly, immobile and vulnerable, depend on the service that it provides. Experience elsewhere has shown that the closure of a PO can have devastating consequences for a village. Less money is spent locally, further undermining the rural economy. Car use increases. Those without transport suffer. Village vitality falls. The loss of a village PO is often the final blow to struggling hard pressed rural communities.
