from Daily Telegraph letters
A quote from the labour party’s 2001 manifesto….
‘Labour is pledged to a rural services standard to set out specifically what rural people can expect from 21 service providers - with annual auditing and commitments to service improvements … the Post Office is now obliged to prevent the closure of rural postoffices except in unavoidable circumstances, with £270 million to help achieve this and recruit sub-postmasters.’
So far from recruiting sub-postmasters they are sacking them!!
