4 1. Introduction

The Government has recognised that fewer people are using Post Office® branches, partly because traditional services, including benefit payments and other services are now available in other ways, such as online or directly through banks. It has concluded that the overall size and shape of the network of Post Office® branches (“the Network”) needs to change.

In May 2007, following a national public consultation, the Government announced a range of proposed measures to modernise and reshape the Network and put it on a more stable footing for the future. A copy of the Government’s response to the national public consultation (“the Response Document”) can be obtained at www.dti.gov.uk/consultations/page36024.html.

Post Office Ltd has now put in place a Network Change Programme (“the Programme”) to implement the measures proposed by the Government. The Programme will involve the compulsory compensated closure of up to 2,500 Post Office® branches (out of a current Network of 14,000 branches), with the introduction of about 500 service points known as “Outreaches” to mitigate the impact of the proposed closures. Compensation will be paid to those subpostmasters whose branches are compulsorily closed under the Programme.

To support the necessary changes to the Network and put it on a more stable footing and to support the reshaped Network of the future, the Government has proposed an investment of up to £1.7bn as a funding package.

The majority of Post Office® branches - more than 80% - will not change as a result of the Programme. Post Office Ltd is seeking to implement those changes that do take place as efficiently and sensitively as possible.

One of the key ways in which Post Office Ltd will make sure that people continue to have the best possible access to Post Office® services is by applying the minimum access criteria prescribed by the Government in the Response Document:

Nationally:

• 99% of the UK population to be within 3 miles and 90% of the population to be within 1 mile of their nearest Post Office® branch.

• 99% of the total population in deprived urban1 areas across the UK to be within 1 mile of their nearest Post Office® branch.

• 95% of the total urban2 population across the UK to be within 1 mile of their nearest Post Office® branch.

• 95% of the total rural3 population across the UK to be within 3 miles of their nearest Post Office® branch.

1 Deprived urban – The most disadvantaged urban parts of the UK based on the Indices of Multiple Deprivation (top 15% Super Output Areas in England, 15% of Data Zones in Scotland and 30% of Super Output Areas in Wales and Northern Ireland).

2 Urban – A community with 10,000 or more inhabitants in a continuous built up area.

3 Rural – A community not covered by the definition of Urban above. 5 In addition, for each individual postcode district:

• 95% of the population of the postcode district to be within 6 miles of their nearest Post Office® branch.

Changes to the Network can only take place within the prescribed access criteria.

In order to deliver the changes set out in the Response Document, Post Office Ltd has divided the UK into 47 areas (“Areas”). For each of these Areas Post Office Ltd will develop a local area plan proposal (“Area Plan Proposal”) which will set out the changes that it proposes to make within it. The Area Plan Proposal for Shropshire and Staffordshire has been developed and in this booklet you will find information on the changes proposed for Shropshire and Staffordshire. Full details of the Area Plan Proposal for Shropshire and Staffordshire are available on our website www.postoffice.co.uk/networkchange or by contacting us at the address given below.

When developing the Area Plan Proposal for Shropshire and Staffordshire, Post Office Ltd analysed a number of factors. These included the proximity of the Post Office® branches proposed for closure to other nearby branches, the number of customers currently using a particular Post Office® branch, the size and ability of nearby branches to absorb extra customers, and the commercial implications of any decision for Post Office Ltd.

Post Office Ltd has also taken into account obstacles such as rivers, mountains and valleys, motorways and sea crossings to islands in order to avoid undue hardship to customers. In addition, the availability of public transport, alternative access to key Post Office® services (such as cash withdrawals, bill payments, mail services), local demographics and the impact on local economies have all been considered. Post Office Ltd has sought information from a number of external organisations and people, including subpostmasters, local authorities and regional development agencies to assist with this process.

Postwatch, the independent consumer watchdog for postal services, has worked with us in assessing the options for change during the period leading up to the publication of the Area Plan Proposal. Post Office Ltd has also engaged with other stakeholders, including relevant MPs.

Local Public Consultation

Each Area Plan Proposal is subject to local public consultation to ensure that the views of local people are taken into account before any final decisions are made by Post Office Ltd.

The local public consultation on the Area Plan Proposal for Shropshire and Staffordshire will commence on 1 April 2008.

The local public consultation usually lasts for a period of six weeks, however Post Office Ltd will be suspending consultation activity, including participating in public meetings, and will not announce any final decisions regarding closures or replacement Outreach services, from 10 April 2008 until 2 May 2008. This coincides with the run up to the local elections taking place in England and Wales and is in line with the usual guidelines regarding such elections.

The closing date for feedback in respect of the local public consultation is therefore 9 June 2008.

7 8 2. The Area Plan Proposal for Shropshire and Staffordshire

Post Office Ltd is acutely aware of the concerns that changes – including closures – affecting Post Office® branches in the Shropshire and Staffordshire area will cause. To fulfil the Government’s requirement to reduce the overall size of the Post Office® network (“the Network”), Post Office Ltd is implementing the programme in a way which creates similar results across the UK as a whole, and ensures that no group of inhabitants at an area level is overall significantly more adversely affected than any other.

The purpose of this local public consultation is to obtain your views on Post Office Ltd’s proposals to ensure that the branches that are ultimately selected for closure, or closure and replacement with an Outreach Service, are appropriate. From the outset of the Network Change Programme, Post Office Ltd has made it clear in its communications that the Programme is not designed to provide a forum for debate on whether branches should close, but is about ensuring that Post Office Ltd has the best available knowledge to allow it to make the most informed decisions about which branches should close.

Post Office Ltd is proposing to retain a total of 327 Post Office® branches across the region, but to close 53 existing branches, as well as establish 12 outreach service points, which would use innovative ways to continue to provide Post Office services in some areas where the existing branch is proposed for closure.

If these proposed changes take place, Post Office Ltd will remain the largest retailer by network size in the area, and will still have more branches open than the number of branches of major banks and building societies combined. It will mean that 98.3% of the population will see no change to the branch that they currently use or will remain within one mile of an alternative outlet.

At present the area’s 1.48 million residents are served by a total of 380 branches. Usage of Post Office® branches is falling, in line with national trends, as more customers access services at other places, make more use of the internet and have their Government benefits paid directly into bank accounts.

This Area Plan Proposal supports achievement of the national accessibility criteria set by the Government, forms part of an overall reduction in the number of branches by up to 2,500 across the UK and does not disproportionately affect the inhabitants of the area, relative to other parts of the UK.

In addition to meeting these criteria, when preparing this Area Plan Proposal, Post Office Ltd has considered factors relating to geography, the availability of local transport and alternative access to key Post Office® services, local demographics and the impact on local economies. All branches where changes are proposed have been visited by members of Post Office Ltd’s staff to make sure that local factors that needed to be considered in developing an Area Plan Proposal have been assessed first hand.

Shropshire and Staffordshire communities are diverse in nature – densely populated urban areas around Stoke-on-Trent, Stafford and Burton-on-Trent to sparsely populated areas across Shropshire. Across the area, 41.8% of the population live in rural communities and 58.2% in urban towns and cities. In order to meet the Government's access criteria and avoid undue hardship, Post Office Ltd is proposing a future Network in the region comprising 126 branches in urban towns and cities and 201 branches in rural areas.

9

The needs of those living in communities defined as deprived have been carefully considered in this Area Plan Proposal, reflecting the specific national criteria set by the Government to give greater safeguards on the accessibility of branches in these communities. Some 9.6% of the region’s total population live in deprived communities, 9% of them in urban areas and 0.6% in rural areas.

Post Office Ltd has engaged with various stakeholders when preparing this Area Plan Proposal. We have consulted with the independent consumer watchdog on postal services, Postwatch, and have asked all local authorities within the Shropshire and Staffordshire area to provide information and views relevant to the factors which we are able to consider. Our aim throughout has been to minimise the impact, as far as possible, on our customers and to produce the most effective overall proposal for the future. Post Office Ltd has also met directly with a total of 12 Local Authorities during the pre-consultation stage.

In our conversations with stakeholders we have been made aware of regeneration plans for up to 2026 which affect areas within the overall proposal, and we have taken these into consideration when constructing the Area Plan. These include submissions from Stafford Borough Council, Shrewsbury & Atcham Borough Council, Bridgnorth District Council, Newcastle-Under-Lyme District Council, Staffordshire County Council and South Shropshire District Council. Our proposed Network for the Shropshire and Staffordshire area takes account of the locations affected by these and other schemes, their likely implementation timescales, and has regard to the needs of the communities affected by these changes. We will keep provision under review should demand increase beyond anticipated levels in the future.

Staffordshire County Council has advised us of a proposal for a new settlement of around 5000 dwellings at Fradley near Lichfield. East Staffordshire Borough Council and Stoke-On-Trent City Council have both advised us of future plans for work on, and investment in, major road schemes. East Staffordshire Borough Council have advised us of significant changes to public transport in Burton-On-Trent and Shropshire County Council have advised us of their one day a week fixed route bus routes in rural areas being changed to on demand.

In finalising the Area Plan Proposal all branches were carefully considered against the Government’s minimum access criteria which Post Office Ltd must meet, and has had regard to the other factors that we must consider. 18.5% of the initial Area Plan Proposal has been changed as those factors were reviewed and as information from stakeholders was considered and assessed.

Future service provision:

The Area Plan Proposal envisages a Post Office® Network of 327 branches in the Shropshire and Staffordshire area, which ensures that Post Office Ltd would comply with the minimum access criteria set by the Government. For 92.9% of customers this would mean no change to the Post Office® branch that they currently use.

The network now proposed for Shropshire and Staffordshire continues to offer better access to services than that of any similar organisation, while accepting the Government’s decision to reduce overall branch numbers. Subject to the Government’s overriding criteria, we have considered geography, transport provision, demographics and local economic impact where appropriate. We are pleased to maintain 60 branches that support the only essential retailer in their community and 121 that provide the only access to cash in a particular community.

10

The Area Plan Proposal includes provision of Post Office services through innovative Outreach solutions in 12 locations. In each instance the Outreach solution would be located within the same community as an existing Post Office branch and provide Post Office services for a designated number of hours per week. Possible types of Outreach service in the Shropshire and Staffordshire area could include a Mobile Service visiting small communities at set times, a Hosted Service operated within third party premises for restricted hours each week or a Partner Service within the premises of a local partner (such as a pub landlord).

Outreach Services are proposed in some rural areas within the Shrewsbury & Atcham, North Shropshire and Ludlow constituencies.

Post Office Ltd understands the importance of its role in both urban and rural communities and is keen to continue to provide access to services for as many customers in as many of these communities as possible. We have also considered the relative convenience of alternative branches for those customers whose closest branch is proposed for closure.

Of the 7.1% of customers who use a branch that will close, 5.4% would have access to Post Office® services within one mile as measured by road distance (1.4% being within half a mile of their nearest alternative). In total 98.3% of the population will either see no change, or will be within one mile of an alternative branch.

Next steps….

During the local public consultation, which will end on 9 June, we will seek views on the proposed future service provision in the region as outlined in this Area Plan Proposal.

Subject to the conclusion of the local public consultation period and after consideration of feedback received, no changes would be implemented before August 2008

Post Office Ltd is at a crucial point. Customer numbers are falling, customer habits are changing and many of our traditional services are available elsewhere. It is essential that the changes, which include a reduction in the number of branches, are made if the Network is to have a sustainable future. We therefore welcome your views and comments regarding access to future Post Office® services in this area. In particular we ask for your views on accessibility to the nearest Post Office® branch.

The consumer watchdog

Postwatch is the independent watchdog for postal services, created by the Postal Services Act 2000. Postwatch is working with Post Office Ltd and local communities throughout the programme to help secure the best possible outcome for customers.

What Postwatch will do

Postwatch operates through nine regional and national committees across the UK. Postwatch’s role during the programme – prescribed by government - is to scrutinise Post Office Ltd’s proposals and give feedback, ensure local consultations are meaningful, and that Post Office Ltd’s decisions are sensible and in line with government criteria.

Each Postwatch regional office investigates Post Office Ltd’s closure proposals. Postwatch receives area plans in advance of public consultation, allowing the time to examine proposals, and Post Office Ltd the chance to refine their proposals before going to public consultation.

Once public consultation is underway, Postwatch works to raise awareness of local consultations, and encourage participation. Postwatch will also work to ensure the minimum access criteria set out by the government are maintained.

Where Postwatch thinks proposals are unsatisfactory, they will work with local communities and Post Office Ltd to address these problems. There is an agreed review mechanism between Postwatch and Post Office Ltd for such instances. It is important to note that Postwatch does not have a power of veto on Post Office Ltd’s decisions.

Further information

Postwatch and Post Office Ltd have agreed a Memorandum of Understanding, which sets out in detail the role Postwatch will play in the Programme. This is available on the Postwatch website at www.postwatch.co.uk.

13 14 4. Proposed Outreach Service Points

In some cases, Post Office Ltd is proposing to mitigate the impact of a proposed branch closure by putting in place an Outreach Service. Outreach Services are an innovative way to continue to provide Post Office® services and a means by which Post Office® products and services are provided by a ‘Core’ Subpostmaster (who already operates a Post Office® branch in the community) to nearby communities.

Outreach Services build on Post Office Ltd’s experience of successfully operating over 250 satellite branches since 2000 and have been tried and tested in a number of pilot schemes.

There are currently four different Outreach Service models: the Mobile Service, the Hosted Service, the Partner Service and the Home Service. Details of the current Outreach Service models are set out below.

Mobile Service

The Mobile Service is a travelling Post Office® situated within a mobile vehicle and brings Post Office® and retail products and services to communities without relying on fixed premises. The Mobile Service is provided from the back of the vehicle with a Post Office® counter inside. The vehicle has an access lift so that disabled customers can also access the vehicle.

The Mobile Service will be operated by a Core Subpostmaster from his nearby Core Post Office® branch. The vehicle will visit communities at specified times and days each week and will park at a pre-determined central and safe location.

The technology used in the vehicle means that the Core Subpostmaster (or his staff) are able to provide our customers with a range of Post Office® products and services including:

• Post Office® Card Account. • Postage and Post Office® Savings Stamps. • Bill and Budget Payment Schemes. • Financial and Banking Services. • Telephony products including Homephone.

Other products and services including car tax, travel money, travel card and travel insurance may also be available if these are available at the Core Post Office® branch.

Hosted Service

The Hosted Service provides customers with access to a range of Post Office® products and services at a fixed site during specified hours on set days.

The Core Subpostmaster will provide the Hosted Service from the premises of a local business or a community building such as a shop, café, church, garage or village hall (“Hosted Premises”). The Hosted Premises will set aside space for the portable Post Office® computer equipment. The provision of a Hosted Service maintains a Post Office® presence in the community and may also lead to increased sales for the Host if the Hosted Premises contain a retail business.

15

The Hosted Service provides customers with a range of Post Office® products and services including:

• Post Office® Card Account. • Postage and Post Office® Savings Stamps. • Bill and Budget Payment Schemes. • Financial and Banking Services. • Telephony services including Homephone.

Other products and services including car tax, travel money, travel card and travel insurance may also be available if these are available at the Core Post Office® branch.

Partner Service

The Partner Service provides Post Office® products and services to customers at a fixed site through a third party retailer.

The Partner Service can be operated from many types of existing business premises including convenience stores and cafés. The Partner provides Post Office® products and services to customers from his premises on behalf of the Core Subpostmaster. The Core Subpostmaster will provide support and assistance to the Partner in managing the Partner Service. The Core Subpostmaster pays the Partner for operating the Partner Service which is provided from a fixed counter position within the Partner’s Premises. The Partner Service will be available to customers during the same hours as the normal opening hours of the Partner’s retail business.

The provision of a Partner Service maintains a Post Office® presence in the community and may also lead to increased sales at the retail business of the Partner.

A limited range of Post Office® products and services are available from the Partner Service including:

• Post Office® Card Account. • Postage and Post Office® Savings Stamps. • Bill and Budget Payment Schemes. • Banking Services. • Inland letters / packets up to a maximum 2kg, recorded delivery service. • International letters / packets up to a maximum of 2kg.

Home Service

The Home Service enables customers to order Post Office® products and/or services and have these delivered direct to their homes or alternatively the products or services will be available for collection by the customer at a Drop-In Session held at a fixed time and location.

16

Customers who register for the Home Service can telephone the Core Subpostmaster to order Post Office® products and services including:

• DWP Giro cheque encashment. • Inland Revenue cheque encashment. • Non-automated personal cheque encashment and deposits. • Post Office® saving stamps. • Non-automated Bill payment. • Mails acceptance.

The Home Service is likely to be most suited to, for example, small communities of around 50 people or less. Although there will not be a physical Post Office® building in the community, the Home Service enables customers in these areas to access certain Post Office® products and services.

Post Office Ltd is proposing to introduce a number of Outreach service points as part of this Area Plan. A list of the branches proposed for replacement with an Outreach service is provided in section 5 of this booklet and full details of the proposed new services are provided in the appropriate section towards the end of the appendix.

As part of the local public consultation, we would like to seek views from our customers and their representatives in relation to each individual proposal, in particular:

• our proposal to close the Post Office® branch concerned and replace it with an Outreach Service;

• the type of Outreach Service to be provided;

• our current Outreach Service proposal (for example, whether it is a suitable type of Outreach Service for the area and community concerned, whether there are any particular local factors that we should be aware of that may influence what type of Outreach Service is most appropriate for the area and community, whether there are any benefits or disadvantages regarding the type of Outreach Service in the area and community);

• whether the extent of Outreach Service (in terms of hours and Post Office® services provided) proposed is suitable for the area and community;

• suitable locations for the Outreach Service in the local community;

• all other potential Outreach Services for the area and the communities concerned. As explained above, while Post Office Ltd is currently proposing to establish a specific Outreach Service, following local public consultation (and having regard to all relevant factors) it may decide to establish one of the other Outreach Services in the area concerned.

When commenting on our proposals we would particularly be interested in your views on the availability of public transport, alternative access to key Post Office® services, local demographics (such as age, sex, disability, race, religion and ethnicity) and the impact on customers and the local economy.
