The meeting will consider what action the council can take to protect this 'vital community service' following an announcement from the Post Office of the possible closure as part of a major overhaul.

The Mayor of Oswestry Councillor Mike Isherwood has called the meeting.

He said: “Many councillors, Oswestry residents and those of neighbouring parishes will be extremely concerned to read that the Oswestry branch of the Post Office is at risk of closure.

“The branch provides a range of important services to our community, and it is vital that these are safeguarded.”

The meeting will be at The Guildhall on Wednesday November 27 at 7pm.  

This is a council meeting which is open to members of the public to attend either in person or virtually.

The agenda includes an opportunity for members of the public to ask questions during the public participation section at the beginning of the meeting, elected members will then discuss the matter in hand.
