"The Post Office was accused of “ripping the heart” out of local communities in Fife after it was revealed that not one of the 15 post offices earmarked for closure in the kingdom had been reprieved. Following a six-week consultation exercise, it was confirmed that none had been dropped from the list announced in May and shutters will start to go up in September. Closing are Dalbeath Crescent, Cowdenbeath; Main Street, Halbeath; Main Street, Torryburn; Transy, Dunfermline; Denbeath; Dundonald Park, Cardenden; North Street, Glenrothes; Glencraig, Crosshill; Main Street, Hillend; Blackhall Square, Kelty; Pathhead, Kirkcaldy; Main Street, Lower Largo; Newton of Falkland; Scoonie, Leven; and Westport, Cupar."
Not so good news for Fife's post offices, for those that run them and the Fifers that rely on them, but Carnegie would agree that it seemed from day one that the Post Office was intent on closing them, irrespective of what anyone said.
One more thing to remember next polling day?
