The Post Office is going to close 37 of its Crown offices, which will cause 300 job losses.

But what is a Crown post office?

A Crown post office is a larger branch, which is usually found on British High streets.

At the end of June 2016, there were 11,648 Post Offices in the Post Office Network.

Around 97% of UK branches are operated by franchise partners or sub-postmasters, who operate independent business.

Those remaining are Crown offices, which are directly managed by Post Office Limited.

The number of post offices has declined over the last 30 years, almost halving its numbers.

"Employers are always seeking more productivity from workers, without considering the human factor, the worker's age, the weather conditions and the intense heat. We need to intervene before it's too late, reducing working hours and the load carried by workers, because it's impossible to sustain the rhythm they're forced to work at for many years."
