Vernon Coaker: To ask the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister what steps he is taking to protect post offices in areas of urban
deprivation. [76424]
Mrs. Roche: The Government announced their commitment to set up "a £15 million fund to sustain and improve post offices and
associated retail facilities in deprived urban areas" in the 'Urban White Paper', which was published in November 2000.
The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister is seeking to launch the scheme in the autumn of 2002, with receipt of first applications
early in 2003.
The proposed scheme will seek to contribute to the regeneration and renewal of urban deprived areas through sustaining and improving
sub-post offices. Where sub-post offices face risk of closure, it is expected to support:
improvements relating to core post office services;
improvements relating to the development of non-post office facilities; and
improvements to a sub-postmaster's working conditions, particularly to deter violent and other crime.
