Post offices play an important role in communities across the UK, acting as a community hub and making sure people have access to important services.<\/p>

<\/p>

The role of post offices in ensuring financial inclusion is becoming increasingly important. Post office operates 2,500 free-to-use ATMs across the UK and approximately 95% current accounts are accessible across post office counters in over 11500 branches across the UK. Post office is also increasing the range of financial services it offers to customers directly.<\/p>

<\/p>

I believe post offices have a key role to play in ensuring financial inclusion and their contribution in this area enhances the social value of the post office network itself. That is why Government has provided nearly £2 billion since 2010 to maintain, modernise and protect the network.<\/p>

The design, installation and maintenance of pedestrian crossings are matters for local highway authorities, in this case Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council. They have powers to establish pedestrian crossings on their roads, under section 23 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. Pedestrian crossings do not require planning permission but the local authority need to work with those requesting such a crossing to ensure an appropriate way forward is found.<\/p>

<\/p>

Local authorities are free to make their own decisions about the design of the streets under their care, provided they take account of the relevant legislation. It would be inappropriate for the Government to seek to intervene in the process of local democratic accountability.<\/p>

The application from Christchurch and East Dorset Councils for the 2015-16 Transformation Challenge Award satisfied the basic criteria as published in the prospectus for the expression of interest stage. The authorities were then invited to submit a full application. The application was assessed alongside all other applications but unfortunately we could not fund them all. Christchurch and East Dorset Councils\u2019 application was not as strong as the successful applications.<\/p>
