Post Offices face closure
Published Date:

DALMENY and Newton Post Offices have been earmarked for closure.
As a six-week consultation period gets under way, locals are set to campaign to keep the facilities open.
A public meeting is to be held in Dalmeny Primary School on Thursday at 7pm, led by Edinburgh West MP John Barrett.
Mr Barrett said: "Ideally we would like to see the post office remain open.
"But if not, we will be calling for an outreach service to cater for those who cannot make the trip to Queensferry."
In Newton, residents fear the closure of the post office could spark the closure of the village's only shop too.
