Back in September 2009, the Prime Minister announced that he wanted "the Post Office to play a much bigger role, bringing banking services back to the heart of people's communities". A national consultation is taking place, asking if people agree with the proposals being put forward, and Urban Forum is seeking input from members in order to formulate a response. The Government has stated that their vision is for the Post Office to maintain a secure, sustainable and affordable network. The proposals focus on products and services that people could receive from their Post Office, as opposed to how these would be delivered.
