Mark Lazarowicz MP highlights growing concern over move for St James Centre Post Office after consumer watchdog raises question mark
The Edinburgh North and Leith MP has called for the proposed move of the Edinburgh Crown Post Office from the St James Centre to Princes Mall to be reconsidered after the consumer watchdog, Consumer Futures, expressed its concern about the move.
Consumer Futures wrote to Mark this week asking for his views and raising a question mark over access for customers at the proposed site in Princes Mall, especially for those with limited mobility needs.
He said:-“The concern expressed by Consumer Futures over the move just underlines the need for the Post Office to think again.
“The public consultation on the move ends on 26th March and I hope that the Post Office will listen carefully to the growing concern over the proposal.
“The move is scheduled to go ahead this summer but as yet there is no start date for the development of the St James Centre.
“In view of that, I would like to see the Post Office look at the possibility of keeping the Crown Office at its present location at least for the time being.”
