  8. Post office pop-up village service 'erratic'published at 08:15 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2016

    Reporter BBC Radio Humberside

    Three Conservative councillors say people in an East Yorkshire village have told them they are not happy with the way a Post Office outreach service is being run. 

    The Post Office shop was closed in Barmston some years ago and replaced with a one-day-a-week set up in the village hall. 

    But some residents say the service has become erratic and during the past two months it's only been open once. 

    We're waiting for a statement from the Post Office.
