In March, Post Office closed their branch at the Scott Arms with a planned move to Cross Lane Convenience Store. Many local residents and I campaigning against the move due to the small size of the new branch, accessibility issues and transport concerns. I was very disappointed that none of our concerns were addressed, and the move eventually went ahead in April.
We have now we've been told that the branch at Cross Lane Convenience Store will close permanently, leaving the Scott Arms without a post office branch at all.
I'm campaigning to make Post Office restore a branch at the Scott Arms to serve local residents in Great Barr. You can support my campaign by signing my petition below.
You can contact the post office directly to have your say. I'd encourage all residents affected by this closure to call for the return of a Post Office by emailing them at comments@postoffice.co.uk.
