Increased business rates are making running Nantwich Post Office a struggle.
As an independent business, we are not immune to the rising cost pressures that the UK high street continues to face, with business rates causing a significant strain.
Our customers rely on us for access to essential services, where we play a vital role in keeping our local community connected.
Alongside our fellow postmasters, this financial year business rates are expected to collectively cost post offices £43 million – with an additional ~600 of us being brought into paying business rates compared to FY23/24.
We are joining others across our network to ask the Government to provide targeted business rate relief to help us continue serving our local community.
You can help us too by contacting our local MP on this issue to increase the chances of it being discussed in Parliament. We want to be able to continue to play our role in our community to support you for many more years to come so please do help.
