A total of 41 Post Offices in Wales received a welcome funding boost today as the Labour-led Welsh Assembly Government announced the latest round of grants from its Post Office Diversification Fund.
The Post Offices will share over £725,000 to expand the range of services they offer or upgrade their premises. Grants can be used to provide modern services which customers might not expect to see at the local post office, such as an automated cash machine or a cyber café, as well as more typical services such as a passport photo booth. The funding can also be used for upgrades to the premises and staff training to offer a greater range of business products.
Around 140 Post Offices throughout Wales have already benefited from the fund, creating 112 jobs. This latest funding round will help a further 41 Post Offices and create 18 full time jobs at Post Offices across the country.
