YouGov poll results revealed by the Post Bank Coalition show that over three quarters of people in Yorkshire and the Humber believe there is a need for a publicly run bank, with nearly two thirds saying they would be likely to use such a bank at the Post Office. The region had the lowest confidence in high street banks currently meeting local community banking needs. The poll, released the week before the government consultation into post office banking closes, is the latest evidence that there is growing demand for a new model of banking based on the trusted post office network. Given the strong results, the Post Bank Coalition is calling on government to use the consultation as an opportunity to establish a publicly owned Post Bank in the Post Office. Growing consensus among politicians and the public make this an easily achievable „must? for government.
