Government funding available for rural post offices

A local MP is calling on community post offices to take advantage of a Government fund, set up to help them improve their premises.


There's 20 million pounds available nationally, which can be spent on putting in better customer facilities or sprucing the buildings and signage.

The MP for central Devon Mel Stride has been visiting branches in his constituency to make them aware of the funding - he says it's vital for small rural branches to stay open and thrive.
