Probably 50%
They are extending the distance a person is expected to travel to a post box from 1.5 miles, to 3 miles.

Re: More and more post boxes shutting!
Do any of the older boxes have any sort of protection, as in listed buildings?

Not forgetting the LLoyd's building in London, built in 1986 and grade 1 listed in 2011 
If Royal Mail do start removing post boxes then I can imagine them receiving some unwanted bad publicity. The local press will be full of photos of little old ladies standing glumly next to a condemned post box with letter in hand.
