The Post Office has revealed plans to hand over its remaining directly-owned branches to franchisees by the autumn.<\/p>\n

Around 108 crown branches which are currently directly owned and run by the company are facing new ownership, but others could close as franchises are moved to different premises.<\/p>\n

There are roughly 11,500 Post Office branches in the UK \u2013 around 108 are \u2018wholly-owned\u2019 by the company while the rest operate out of partners like\u00a0WHSmith<\/a>.<\/p>\n
