Fife Council Leader Peter Grant is urging Fifers to give their view before consultation ends on plans to close fifteen Post Offices across the Kingdom.
The final date for Post Office Ltd to receive representations is Tuesday 8th July.
“This is our last chance to fight these ill thought-out and short-sighted plans which could rip the heart out of communities across the length and breadth of Fife, “ said Cllr Grant.
“I would urge every man woman and child to write or e-mail Post Office Ltd protesting against the closure plans.
“It is absurd that we as a Council have just given much needed new businesses to these branches with our hugely successful bill payment service and now Post Office Ltd is planning to axe them and slash service in others.
“If the branches are closed it will be devastating news especially for people living in our regeneration areas.”
Sub-post offices in Dundonald Supersave, Crosshill Costcutters, Kelty Costcutters and Dalbeath Crescent in Cowdenbeath are all under threat.
You can give your views to Post Office Ltd in three ways: by phoning 08457 22 33 44; in writing to: National Consultation Team, Post Office Ltd, Freepost Consultation Team (no stamp is needed for Freepost addresses); or by e-mail – go to www.postoffice.co.uk and following the links to services and information, network change, current public consultations.
Fife Post Office branches are part of the consultation involving the North East, Tayside and Fife.
