ESSEX County Council hopes to reopen up to five more post offices in the next few months.
Deals are still being thrashed out, but council leader Lord Hanningfield was confident they would go through before Christmas.
Until the contracts are finalised, Essex County Council will not reveal which closed post offices could be back in business.
Lord Hanningfield told the Gazette: “Post offices are really important to communities locally.
“Hopefully by Christmas we will have four or five more post offices open again around the county.”
It will bring the number of council-funded post offices in Essex to six.
The first to be bailed out was a branch in Buckhurst Hill, near Epping Forest, last month.
There are hopes that five can eventually be rescued under the ground-breaking scheme.
The National Post Office Conference will include talks on the role of post offices in the community, what can be done to support the network, and practical advice for those wishing to follow Essex’s lead.
It takes place at the Radisson SAS Hotel, Stansted, on October 23.
