Plans have been revealed by the Post Office to close or franchise 115 crown offices, these are branches run directly by the business rather than subpostmasters and are often found in city and town centres.

Up to 115 Post Office branches and hundreds of head office jobs are at risk as part of a radical shake-up of the business. The Post Office is looking at options for its wholly-owned branches, which currently employ about 1,000 workers and are loss-making.

The full list of branches at risk of closure, according to the Communication Workers Union, is below: Belfast City - 12-16 Bridge Street, BT1 1LT Edinburgh City - Waverley Mall, Waverley Bridge, EH1 1BQ Glasgow - 136 West Nile Street, G1 2RD
