From The Socialist newspaper, 27 February 2008

Post Office closures

ROYAL MAIL group is closing 169 post office branches in London under a fast-track programme. It follows many other closures and sell-offs throughout the country.

Meanwhile, the chief executive of Royal Mail, Adam Crozier, pocketed £1.3 million in salaries and bonuses last year and other board members got nearly £3 million between them.

More on post office closures in future issues of The Socialist.
