Mike Weir is pleased with Post Office contract
Angus MP Mike Weir MP, SNP spokesperson on postal services, has welcomed the announcement that the DVLA has awarded the contract to provide DVLA services to Post Office Limited.
Commenting on the news Mr Weir said: “This is a rare piece of good news for the Post Office, and follows a huge campaign organised by the National Federation of Sub Post masters. This campaign generated a huge number of postcards from all over Angus expressing concerns over the potential loss of these services.
“It is by far the largest campaign I can remember in recent years.
“Clearly the campaign has had a strong impact on DVLA and government and has led to this important decision.
“The award of the contract is good news in that it will stabilise an income stream for many sub post offices but it is important that Post Office Limited builds upon this to ensure that the full range of DVLA services are available in as many of it’s branches as possible.
“There also remains a challenge to both government and Post Office limited is to build on this announcement by making good on the promise to make the post office the front office for government.”
