Mark Garnier, MP for Wyre Forest, has welcomed the announcement that the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has awarded a new seven year contract to the Post Office - to provide DVLA's services from their post office network.
DVLA-related services at the Post Office will expand to include services currently only offered through DVLA local offices, with scope for the provision of other Government services through the post office network. Worth around £450 million, the contract will result in savings of between £13 million and £15 million a year.
Mark said, "I have been contacted by many constituents in the past few months who are concerned over the future of services available at the Post Office. I congratulate the Post Office on being awarded the DVLA contract after a competitive bidding process, and am confident that they will deliver an excellent service for motorists throughout Wyre Forest."
