Franchise plans for five post offices in Scotland

FIVE flagship post offices in Scotland have been earmarked for relocation as franchises in shops or other retail outlets.

The branches in East Kilbride, Cumbernauld, Perth, Alloa and Stornoway – which employ in total almost 50 staff – may be moved as the company seeks partners for the controversial venture.

The Post Office, which could work with the likes of WH Smith, the Co-operative or other businesses, said the range of services would not be affected and branches could be open longer.
