00:00Just ill-founded, no consultation with the staff, no consultation with local people,

00:04no real understanding of what the post office is still a service and should remain a service for

00:11local communities. And it's something I feel really angry about is like taking services

00:15away from small towns just because they don't make enough money. But public services are not

00:20supposed to make money, they're supposed to cost the government money for the service of the people.

00:30And to a sub post office, what that means is reducing services which will impact significantly on

00:49businesses and moving the counters to the front and reducing counters from at the moment two to one.

00:56The post office and the front counter always have so many people in the queue.

01:14It just seems really impractical. It seems like the decision has been made by somebody who's never

01:18actually been to this post office.
