Mid Scotland and Fife MSP, Liz Smith, is seeking an urgent meeting with the Post Office to discuss the closure of the Post Office in Muthill.
Commenting Liz said,
"I have contacted the Post Office having recently received information regarding Muthill post office and the fact that the current office is to continue. Like, the entire local community, I want the Post Office to know how disappointed I am to hear this. I understand the pressures on local post offices but, in the case of Muthill, it means that there are now virtually no local services available and this comes at the same time as both Crieff and Comrie have suffered from a reduction in post office and banking services.
"On behalf of the many constituents who have contacted me I am requesting a meeting as soon as possible. This continual reduction in services really has a detrimental impact on our rural communities and we need to ensure all alternatives are explored. I am keen to hear what options have been considered and what discussions can be had with the community to agree a positive way forward."
