Our Post Offices matter to our villages.
Post Offices aren't just places to post letters, collect parcels and pay in cheques.
They're the centre of our communities. Because they aren't just Post Offices. They're hubs for the whole village.
The place to grab a pint of milk or a box of (preferably Yorkshire) tea when you're caught short. The biscuits so you're prepared for the grandchildren coming.
And as a place where no one needs to be lonely because there's always a friendly face.
To villages, so often the Post Office is the last shop. The last public place that anyone can pop in to. That's why the Conservative government brought in a requirement that there were no fewer than 11,500 Post Offices across the country.
So why does the government think it's acceptable to abolish that requirement? In a green paper, it's proposed that the minimum requirement should be abolished meaning villages in rural East Yorkshire may lose their Post Offices and the shops which house them.
