After the post office
re-imagining new services, new contexts
Britain faces high levels of post office closures. In the face of new technologies, far greater choice in how services are accessed and changing lifestyles, people are visiting post offices less, making the present level of service unsustainable. However, it remains the case that in many communities, the local post office still plays an important social and economic role.
In this context, the project seeks to uncover a new service designed to replace the post office or an aspect of it, taking into account its formal and more informal role. Questioning their role and relevance may lead to some surprising and innovative responses.
