More services for our local Post Offices

I back more services for our Post Offices. (Click here to see more info on my local consultation launch)  

Post Offices are a great British institution that has been part of our communities for over three hundred years. I know how deeply people in East Renfrewshire care about the future of our Post Offices.

At a time when some banks and financial services companies are seeking to reduce face to face contact with customers, the Post Office stands out.

It offers a trusted brand, and has more branches than the high street banks combined. It is ideally placed to bring banking services back to the heart of people’s communities.

So I am supporting plans for new financial products and services to be made available at our Post Offices in East Renfrewshire. Like current accounts and children’s saving accounts.

I support this as it will give people in East Renfrewshire access to a full range of banking products at an institution we all trust and value.

I want people in East Renfrewshire to have their say. The Labour Government is looking at this right now, so it is an opportunity for us to tell Government Ministers what we want and need from our Post Offices.
