In response to the news that the Post Office plans to move the Crown Post Office in Bognor Regis to WH Smith, Nick Gibb MP said:
"It is deeply disappointing that Post Office Limited intend to close the Crown Post Office in Bognor Regis and tuck the post office counter into the premises of WH Smith.
"Public opinion has been overwhelmingly opposed to such a decision and I believe strongly that, as a publicly owned corporation, Post Office Limited should have listened to those views
"In a town such as Bognor Regis, which is heavily dependent on tourist income, moving the established and publicly visible post office into WH Smith will hinder not help visitors to the town to find and use postal services during their stay."
Public consultation on the proposals runs until 14 September.
