Dear
Mark,
Freedom of Information Request – FOI2022/00371
I am writing in response to your email received by Post Office Limited (“
Post Office”) on
25 May, which has been dealt with under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act
2000 (“
FOIA”).
I can confirm that Post Office does hold the information you have requested in your email
shown below in bold:
To clarify I would like to know the number of branches that have received an
exceptional support payment since the schemes inception up until the 25th May
2022, as a result of the impact of a new network location branch being opened in
close proximity to an existing branch.
I would also like to know how many of those branches who you have supported in
this way are still in receipt of those support payments.
To be clear I am only asking for information in relation to those branches that have
suffered a loss of business due to the close locating of a new network location
branch and not in relation to any other branch you may be financially supporting for
other exceptional reasons.
No Branches have received an Exceptional Support Payment, known within Post Office as
“Exceptional Premium Payments”, due to a new network location Branch opening near an
existing Branch.
If you have any queries about this response, please contact me and do remember to
quote the reference number above in any future communications.
Public
I hope the information I have provided on this occasion is useful, however if you are
dissatisfied with the handling of this response, you do have a right to request an internal
review. You can do this by writing to the address above stating your reasons for your
internal review request.
Yours sincerely,
Liesl Jackson
