More than 100 Post Office branches could close under a major overhaul announced by the group on Wednesday.

The Post Office revealed it is looking to offload around 115 directly-owned branches within its 11,500-strong network, which could see them transferred to retail partners or postmasters, or potentially closed.

Around 1,000 workers employed across the branches could find their roles at risk, with the Post Office confirming that hundreds of further jobs are under threat as its headquarters looks to streamline office operations.

A Post Office spokesperson said: “We are considering a range of options to reduce our central costs.

“This includes considering the future of our remaining Directly Managed Branches, which are loss-making.

“We have long held a publicly-stated ambition to move to a fully franchised network and we are in dialogue with the unions about future options for the DMBs.”

Here are the Directly Managed Post Office Branches across the UK at risk of closure:

– Vauxhall Bridge Road – 167 Vauxhall Bridge Rd, Lillington and Longmoore Gardens, SW1V 2ST

– Springburn Way – 230 Springburn Way, Glasgow, G21 1BU
