The Hampstead post office, part of the Post Office's cost-cutting transformation drive, faces closure, prompting significant community concern. Local leaders and residents, including MP Tulip Siddiq, have emphasized the post office's critical role in serving vulnerable residents who depend on face-to-face services. The change threatens not just individuals but also local businesses that rely on essential postal services. Community leaders warn that the hilly geography complicates alternatives for those unable to travel far. Local democracy is engaged as various stakeholders unite to plead for preservation of this key communal resource.
The Hampstead post office serves as a vital hub for our diverse community, providing irreplaceable services that support the social and economic fabric of our neighbourhood and the larger north London area.
The potential closure would have far reaching consequences for groups including elderly and vulnerable residents, who prefer face-to-face transactions to digital alternatives.
