<p>The Government recognises the critical role that post offices play in communities
and for small businesses across the UK. The overall number of post offices across
the UK remains at its most stable in decades with over 11,500 branches thanks to significant
Government investment of over £2 billion since 2010.</p><p>I have been informed that
Acton Post Office has closed as the site is being redeveloped and that unfortunately
the Post Office has not been able to establish an alternative service so far. As this
is an operational matter for the Post Office I have asked Paula Vennells, the Group
Chief Executive of Post Office Limited, to write to you on this matter setting out
what steps the Post Office is doing to restore the service as soon as possible. A
copy of her reply will be placed in the Libraries of the House<em>.</em></p>
