THERE ARE FEARS that the Yate post office could close amid a major overhaul.
More than 100 Post Office branches could close under a major overhaul announced by the group on Wednesday, with the Yate one in South Parade, Yate, being among them.
The Post Office revealed it is looking to offload 115 directly-owned branches within its 11,500-strong network, which could see them transferred to retail partners or postmasters, or potentially closed.
Around 1,000 workers employed across the branches could find their roles at risk, with the Post Office confirming that hundreds of further jobs are under threat as its headquarters looks to streamline office operations.
The list contains Yate as well as a post office in Stroud and Gloucester.
