Petition Vow As Post Office Shuts Its Doors

A post office in West Leeds has shut its doors after bosses failed to find someone willing to run it.

The branch in Armley’s Town Street has closed after a year-long campaign to get a new sub-postmaster to take it over.

The YEP reported last year that United Co-op, which held the franchise until now, had decided to terminate its contract with Post Office Ltd for ‘commercial reasons’.

After locals protested, the firm agreed to hang on until an alternative franchisee could be found.

But now they have admitted defeat after talks with several interested parties fell through. Full article.
