On Thursday I was invited to the Wood Street Post Office where the Communities Minister, Don Foster, came to launch the new Post Office Community Enterprise Fund. I found out that this is an exciting new competition which is being run by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) and the Post Office. Our residents are asked to think of projects which their local post office can start up to benefit the local community or small businesses. The good thing is that Wood Street Post Office can apply for up to £10,000 from the £200,000 fund to help pay for these projects!
It was a great visit and I was also pleased to meet Simon Burnham, Post Office Stakeholder Manager and Communications Director, Mark Davies. I also met with Aman Sadana, the Branch Manager and Iqbal Sadana, the Operator. They both do a fantastic job in running our local post office and I am they will also do a brilliant job with the projects they take on! Good luck!
