1. Decision Summary 
 
In May 2007, following a national public consultation, the Government announced a range of 
proposed measures to modernise and reshape the network of Post Office® branches (“the Network”) 
and put it on a more stable footing for the future.  Post Office Limited has now commenced a Network 
Change Programme (“the Programme”) to implement the measures prescribed by the Government.  
 
In February 2008 as part of the Programme, Post Office Limited developed and published a local area 
plan proposal for the Bristol and Somerset area (“the Area Plan Proposal”) setting out the changes that 
it proposed to make.  Following the conclusion of the six-week local public consultation for the Bristol 
and Somerset Area Plan which ended on 9 April 2008, Post Office Limited published the Area plan 
decision booklet for Bristol and Somerset.  This booklet provided details of Post Office Limited’s final 
decisions on the future of Post Office® branches across the Bristol and Somerset area. 
 
As a result of feedback received during the local public consultation Post Office Limited amended its 
proposal by deciding not to proceed with the proposed closures of Bear Flat, Lower Weston and West 
End in the original Area Plan and proposed that the two branches below should be closed.  The local 
public consultation in relation to these proposed closures concluded on 28 July 2008 and Post Office 
Limited has now reached its final decisions on the future of these branches. 
 
Post Office® Hinton St George branch, 47 High Street, Hinton St George, Somerset, TA17 8SE 
 
Post Office® Southgate branch, 32 Southgate, Bath, Somerset, BA1 1TP 
 
Post Office Limited has decided not to proceed with the proposed closure of Post Office® Hinton St 
George branch as a result of feedback received during the local public consultation.  This branch will 
now remain open.  Post Office Limited has decided to proceed with the closure of Post Office® 
Southgate branch and to retain a total of 326 branches across the Bristol and Somerset area. The 
remaining network of 326 branches supports the minimum access criteria prescribed by the 
Government and ensures that 99.1% of the Bristol and Somerset area will either see no change or will 
remain within one mile (by road distance) of an alternative branch.  
 
We appreciate that any decision to close a Post Office® branch will often be unpopular.  Nevertheless, 
Post Office Limited has to make decisions to close branches in order to put the Network on a more 
stable footing for the future and achieve this in a way which best meets the demands and concerns of 
its customers.   
 
After the changes have been implemented, Post Office Limited will remain the largest retailer by 
network size in the area, and will still have more branches open than all of the major banks and 
building societies combined.  More than 99% of the population will see no change to the branch that 
they currently use or would remain within one mile of an alternative outlet. 
 
It is very important to us that our customers are kept informed of any changes to the Network and 
that we provide them with full details of alternative options to enable them to continue to access Post 
Office services.   
 
 


In each of the branches that will be affected posters will be displayed to inform our customers.  Further 
information will be provided to confirm the actual dates the closures or changes will take place.  We 
expect to complete the additional changes in the Bristol and Somerset area by autumn 2008. 
 
A copy of this additional consultations decision booklet is available on our website at 
www.postoffice.co.uk/networkchange.   
 


 
2. Overview of the Programme. 
 
2.1 Background 
 
The Government 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 concluded that the overall size and shape of the network of 
Post Office® branches (“the Network”) needs to change. 
 
As a result of this the Government conducted a national public consultation from December 2006 to 
March 2007 to develop a new policy and financial framework for the Network.  In excess of 2500 
people and organisations took the opportunity to make a contribution to this consultation. 
 
In May 2007, following the national public consultation, the Government announced a range of 
proposed measures to modernise and reshape the Network with the purpose of putting 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.berr.gov.uk/consultations/page36024.html.  
 
Post Office Limited has now put in place a Network Change Programme (“the Programme”) to 
implement the measures prescribed by the Government.  The Programme will involve the compulsory 
compensated closure of up to 2,500 Post Office® branches with the introduction of about 500 service 
points known as “Outreach” to mitigate the impact of the proposed closures in some areas.  
Compensation will be paid to those subpostmasters whose branches are compulsorily closed under the 
Programme. 
 
To support the necessary changes to the Network, the Government has proposed a funding package 
of up to £1.7 billion.   
 
The majority of Post Office® branches - more than 80% - will not change as a result of the Programme.  
Post Office Limited is seeking to implement those changes that do take place as efficiently and 
sensitively as possible.   
 


link to page 8 link to page 8 link to page 8 The key way in which Post Office Limited 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.  These are: 
 
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. 
 
 
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. 
 
The Government also prescribed the following additional criteria in the Response document: 
 
•  The population of any one area, any one country in the UK or any group of people is not to be 
overall significantly more adversely affected by the Programme than the population of any 
other area, country or group of people (as appropriate). 
 
•  There should be a broadly similar number of compulsory compensated branch closures 
pursuant to the Programme in rural areas as in urban areas (including deprived urban areas) 
across the UK as a whole. 
 
•  There should be a broadly similar number of compulsory compensated branch closures 
pursuant to the Programme in any one country as in the whole of the UK. 
 
In order to deliver the changes set out in the Response Document, Post Office Limited has divided the 
UK into 47 areas.  For each of these areas Post Office Limited will develop a local area plan proposal 
(“the Area Plan Proposal”) which will set out the changes that it proposes to make within it.   
                                                           
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. 
 


 
When developing each Area Plan Proposal Post Office Limited takes into account a number of factors.  
These include (where relevant) geographical constraints 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 are all considered.  
Post Office Limited has sought information in this regard from subpostmasters, local authorities, 
regional development agencies and other representative bodies.   
 
In analysing these factors and considering the Government criteria, Post Office Limited has also 
analysed 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 
Limited.   
 
Postwatch, the independent consumer watchdog for postal services, works with Post Office Limited in 
assessing the options for change during the period leading up to the publication of each Area Plan 
Proposal. The dialogue between Post Office Limited and Postwatch continues throughout the period of 
local public consultation that follows and during Post Office Limited’s final decision making processes.   
 
Further information about the Network Change Programme is available on our website 
www.postoffice.co.uk/networkchange. 
2.2 The Area Plan Proposal for the Bristol and Somerset area   
 
An Area Plan Proposal for the Bristol and Somerset area was developed in accordance with the above 
process. 
 
At present the area’s 1.48 million residents are served by a total of 389 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. 
 
Bristol and Somerset is diverse in nature – from the populated urban area of Bristol to the seaside 
town of Western Super Mare and the predominantly densely rural areas of Avon and Somerset. 40% of 
the population live in rural communities and 60% in urban areas.  In order to meet the Government's 
access criteria and avoid undue hardship, Post Office Limited is proposing a future Network in the 
region comprising 129 branches in urban towns and cities and 195 branches in rural areas. 
 
The needs of those living in communities defined as “deprived” were considered in the 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 7% of the area’s total population live in 
deprived communities, 6.6% of them in urban areas and 0.4% in rural areas. The Area Plan proposal for 
Bristol and Somerset identified 21 branches as being located in urban deprived communities. 
 
When preparing the Area Plan Proposal for Bristol and Somerset, Post Office Limited 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 
 


were proposed were visited by members of Post Office Limited’s dedicated regional field teams to 
make sure that local factors that needed to be considered were assessed first hand. 
 
In our conversations and correspondence from stakeholders we have been made aware of 
regeneration plans affecting areas within the overall proposal and have taken these into consideration 
when constructing the Area Plan Proposal. These include regeneration and development plans, 
planned urban developments, transport and housing strategies from Bristol City Council, North 
Somerset Council, Sedgemoor District Council, South Somerset District Council and Taunton Deane 
Borough Council.  
 
The Area Plan Proposal for Bristol and Somerset took into account the locations affected by these and 
other schemes, their likely implementation timescales, and had regard to the needs of the 
communities affected by these changes.  
 
Stakeholders have not advised Post Office Limited of any major road schemes that would materially 
change the accessibility to branches for particular communities.  Similarly, the input that we have 
received regarding public transport provision does not suggest any proposed reduction in current 
provision which could leave branches significantly less accessible for particular communities or make it 
more difficult for customers to access alternative branches than at present. 
 
The Area Plan Proposal for Bristol and Somerset proposed to retain a total of 324 Post Office® 
branches across the region, but to close 65 existing branches, and replace 7 with Outreach service 
points. In accordance with the Government's minimum access and other criteria, the Area Plan 
Proposal for Bristol and Somerset comprised 129 branches in urban towns and cities and 195 branches 
in rural areas. 
 
2.3 Local public consultation process 
 
The Area Plan Proposal for Bristol and Somerset was published on 26 February 2008.  This was 
followed by a six-week period of local public consultation to allow customers, representative bodies 
and other interested parties to express their views on the Area Plan Proposal. 
 
We communicated our proposals in a variety of ways to ensure that local people and their 
representatives were able to participate in the local public consultation process.  In branches that were 
proposed for closure we displayed posters and provided letters and leaflets for customers to take away.  
In all branches that we proposed to keep in the Network, posters were displayed explaining the 
Programme and that, subject to the results of the local public consultation, these branches would 
remain in the Network. 
 
To supplement the communications within each branch, we sent a copy of the Area Plan Proposal and 
other information to more than 70 stakeholders, which included the relevant MPs, local authorities, 
and other organisations and representative bodies. This information was also made available via our 
website at www.postoffice.co.uk/networkchange.  We issued a press release on the first day of the local 
public consultation. 
 
During the local public consultation we attended 18 meetings with customers and their representatives 
to generate feedback on a face to face basis and to help us to understand any local issues causing 
particular concern.  We received in excess of 3800 pieces of correspondence, including emails and 
 
10 

letters, in relation to our proposals. This correspondence was recorded, acknowledged and considered 
alongside all other information and feedback. 
 
A summary of the information and feedback received during the consultation process was shared with 
Postwatch.  In turn, Postwatch has shared with Post Office Limited relevant issues that consumers had 
raised with them directly. 
 
The local public consultation for Bristol and Somerset closed on 9 April 2008. 
 
The additional consultations for Bristol and Somerset were published in June 2008.  This was followed 
by a six-week period of local public consultation to allow customers, representative bodies and other 
interested parties to express their views on the additional consultations. 
 
To supplement the communications within each branch, we sent a copy of the additional 
consultations proposal document to more than 35 stakeholders, which included the relevant MPs, local 
authorities, and other organisations and representative bodies. This information was also made 
available via our website at www.postoffice.co.uk/networkchange.   
 
During the local public consultation we attended 3 meetings with customers and their representatives 
to generate feedback on a face to face basis and to help us to understand any local issues causing 
particular concern.  We received in excess of 270 pieces of correspondence, including emails and letters, 
in relation to our proposals. This correspondence was recorded, acknowledged and considered 
alongside all other information and feedback. 
 
A summary of the information and feedback received during the consultation process was shared with 
Postwatch.  In turn, Postwatch has shared with Post Office Limited relevant issues that consumers had 
raised with them directly. 
 
The local public consultation for the Bristol and Somerset additional consultations closed on 28 July 
2008.

3. The role of Postwatch 
 
 
 
The consumer watchdog  
  
Postwatch is the independent watchdog for postal services, created by the Postal Services Act 2000. 
Postwatch is working with Post Office Limited 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 Limited’s proposals 
and give feedback, ensure local consultations are meaningful, and that Post Office Limited’s decisions 
are in line with government criteria. 
 
Each Postwatch regional office investigates Post Office Limited’s closure proposals. Postwatch receives 
area plans in advance of public consultation, allowing the time to examine proposals, and Post Office 
Limited 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 Limited to address these problems. There is an agreed review mechanism between Postwatch 
and Post Office Limited for such instances but it is important to note that Postwatch does not have a 
power of veto on Post Office Limited’s decisions.  
 
Further information  
 
Postwatch and Post Office Limited 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.

4. Response to Local Public consultation 
 
Post Office Limited has received a substantial response to the local public consultation in respect of its 
proposals for Bristol and Somerset.  It is not possible to set out in full all of the responses to local public 
consultation in Bristol and Somerset in this document.   
 
This section therefore contains a summary of the key aspects of the responses to local public 
consultation received by Post Office Limited in relation to each of the additional branches proposed 
for closure.  
 
However, all such responses have been reviewed, considered and taken into account by Post Office 
Limited when making the decisions set out below. 
 
This section also contains the decision made by Post Office Limited, following local public consultation, 
in respect of each of those branches, taking into account the responses and having regard (amongst 
other things) to the minimum access criteria, other criteria and factors prescribed by the Government. 
 
The decisions to be made by Post Office Limited during the Programme are complex and difficult.  
These involve balancing a wide range of factors, as prescribed by the Government in the Response 
Document (see section 2.1) above. They include the commercial viability of branches and other 
operational issues, as well as factors such as the local demographics and the effect of closures on the 
local economy. At the same time Post Office Limited must ensure compliance with the detailed 
minimum access criteria and other criteria set out in the Response Document.   
 
We appreciate that any decision to close a Post Office® branch is likely to be unpopular.  Nevertheless, 
Post Office Limited has to make decisions to close branches in order to put the Network on a more 
stable footing for the future and achieve this in a way which best meets the demands and concerns of 
the public, its customers. 
 
Many responses received during consultation, addressing either individual closure proposals or the 
wider plan for the area, raised general objections to the loss of branches.  The Government’s own 12 
week national public consultation from December 2006 to March 2007 allowed organisations and 
individuals to raise concerns regarding the overall policy towards the network, including a reduction in 
the number of branches.  Therefore while having due regard to all consultation responses, in reviewing 
the Area Plan Proposal, Post Office Limited has focused on new information relating to the criteria and 
factors prescribed by Government and set out in this document. 
 
 
14 

Post Office Limited has decided not to proceed with the closure of the following branch: 
 
Post Office® Hinton St George branch 
 
The main concerns expressed by respondents during local public consultation regarding our proposal 
to close this branch were in relation to the potential impact on the local community due to the 
particularly high number of elderly and other vulnerable customers in the local area, whom 
respondents felt would have considerable difficulties accessing the nearest alternative branches.  
Respondents were concerned about the viability of the adjoining village shop.  Respondents also raised 
concerns regarding to the distance, lack of pavements, and infrequent bus services to - and insufficient 
parking at – the nearest alternative branches.   
 
Respondents also raised concerns relating to the nearest alternative branch, Post Office® Crewkerne 
branch, which they felt would not cope with additional customers arising from the proposed closure.  
Respondents pointed out that nearby Post Office®  Haselbury Plucknett branch has recently been 
closed as part of the Network Change Programme, said there was uncertainty surrounding the future 
viability of other branches in the local network and that there are two new housing developments 
planned for construction in the local area in the future.   
 
A number of responses were received as part of a campaign, opposing the proposed closure. 
 
Post Office Limited has considered all responses received during the local public consultation and a 
review of this proposal has been undertaken.  Post Office Limited acknowledges that there is a 
particularly high proportion of elderly and other vulnerable people in the area, and that the limited 
public transport available is not suitable for people with mobility difficulties.  
 
During the course of the local consultation period we have also been made aware of other service 
issues in the local area.  These issues which are unrelated to the Network Change Programme have 
raised concerns about the ability of Post Office Limited to continue to offer good service levels in the 
area if Post Office® Hinton St George branch was to close. 
 
Taking these and all other relevant factors into account, including the needs of our more vulnerable 
customers, Post Office Limited has decided not to proceed with the closure of Post Office® Hinton St 
George branch.  This branch will remain in the Post Office® Network. 
 
 
15 

Post Office Limited has decided to proceed with the closure of the following branch:  
 
Post Office® Southgate branch 
 
The main concerns expressed by respondents during local public consultation regarding our proposal 
to close this branch were in relation to the ability of Post Office® City of Bath Crown branch to cope 
with the expected increase in additional customer levels rising from the proposed closure of Post 
Office® Southgate® branch. Respondents felt that the proposed closure would be detrimental to the 
local community and pointed out that there are plans for development in the local area in the future, 
including additional residential properties. A petition was also submitted during the local public 
consultation, opposing the proposed closure. 
 
Respondents also pointed out that Post Office® Southgate branch does not close at lunchtimes or on 
Thursday afternoons which had been stated in our consultation materials.  
 
Post Office Limited has considered all responses received during the local public consultation and a 
review of this proposal has been undertaken. Post Office Limited accepts that the opening hours given 
in our consultation materials were incorrect and these have been amended accordingly.  
 
Post Office® City of Bath Crown branch is located approximately just over half a mile away and there is 
a frequent bus service between Post Office® Southgate branch and this branch.  Post Office Limited 
considers that both alternative branches have the necessary capacity to cope with the expected 
increase in customer levels arising from the proposed closure of Post Office® Southgate branch.   
 
Post Office® Southgate branch currently does not have a permanent subpostmaster and there have 
been no expressions of interest in the vacancy. There is also a significant risk that the premises will not 
be available in the future.  
 
Taking these and all other relevant factors into account, including the needs of our more vulnerable 
customers, Post Office Limited has decided to proceed with the proposed closure of Post Office® 
Southgate branch.  However, in light of the commercial and residential developments proposed and 
taking place in the local area, Post Office Limited will give due consideration to any future proposals 
for establishing Post Office® services in the area.

5. Conclusion  
 
We appreciate that any decision to close a Post Office® branch will often be unpopular.  Nevertheless, 
Post Office Limited has to make decisions to close branches in order to put the Network on a more 
stable footing for the future and achieve this in a way which best meets the demands and concerns of 
its customers.   
 
As has been indicated previously, there is a process by which Postwatch can request a further review of 
changes that Post Office Limited proposes to make to the Network.  Following the conclusion of any 
such further review Post Office Limited’s decision is final and there is no appeal procedure to Post 
Office Limited. 
 
Post Office Limited 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. In implementing the Programme in the Bristol and Somerset area, we have 
considered the relative convenience of alternative branches for those customers whose closest branch 
will close.  Of the 10.2% of customers who use a branch that will close, 9.3 % would have access to Post 
Office® services within one mile as measured by road distance (3% being within half a mile of their 
nearest alternative).  In total 99.1% of the population will either see no change, or will be within one 
mile of an alternative branch. 
 
We were pleased to be able to retain 77 branches in the Bristol and Somerset area that support the 
only essential retailer and 100 branches that provide the only access to cash in the respective rural 
communities that they serve.  
 
After the changes have been implemented, Post Office Limited will remain the largest retailer by 
network size in the area, and will still have more branches open than all of the major banks and 
building societies combined.  More than 99.1% of the population will see no change to the branch that 
they currently use or would remain within one mile of an alternative outlet. 
 
It is proposed that nine branches within the Bristol and Somerset area will have improvement works in 
order to provide better disabled access or increase the number of counter positions to ensure that they 
have sufficient capacity for customers migrating from other branches. 
 
It is very important to us that our customers are kept informed of any changes to the Network and 
that we provide them with full details of alternative options to enable them to continue to access Post 
Office services.   
 
In each of the branches that will be closed posters will be displayed to inform our customers.  Further 
information will be provided to confirm the actual dates the closures will take place.  Press releases will 
also be issued. 
 
In line with the Code of Practice agreed between Post Office Limited and Postwatch, any closures or 
other changes will take effect not less than four weeks after the decision is announced.
