The announcement today means that 34 branches will close in Cumbria, with the first closures scheduled to take place towards the end of July. Outreach outlets will replace Post Office branches at 10 locations.

One branch originally proposed for closure – Botcherby Post Office on Wood Street – will now remain open, following a review of the issues raised during consultation- relating to the potential impact on the community and the routes and public transport available to the alternative branches. The needs of more vulnerable customers were also taken into account.

Because Botcherby branch will not now close, Post Office Ltd is proposing the closure of one other branch: Little Langdale Post Office, located at Little Langdale School House, Ambleside, LA22 9NY. A six-week period of local public consultation will commence in due course.

The following Post Office branches are to be replaced by either a mobile service or shared premises with another business:
