Closure review for disabled woman
Updated on 13 May 2008
A disabled woman wins the right to a judicial review of the programme of post office closures. Katie Razzall reports.
Did the government's decision to close thousands of post offices discriminate against disabled people? A severely disabled woman has just won the right to a judicial review to find out.
Judy Brown, from Hastings, has won permission to seek a court ruling that the ongoing closure of local post offices went ahead without proper regard to the laws against discrimination.
She argued that she would be unable to travel to more distant branches.
