Troisvierges – Another closure of a post office branch ?

Over the past five years, many post offices have been closed and replaced by alternative distribution channels, such as ATMs and online services. In this context, our deputy André Bauler asked the Minister of the Economy about the future of the post office in Troisvierges.

« Je viens d’apprendre que le bureau de poste de Troisvierges risquerait d’être fermé dans un avenir proche. Or, il y a peu de temps, le bureau en question avait été réaménagé pour répondre au mieux aux besoins de la clientèle régionale. Il est donc surprenant qu’une telle décision puisse être prise quelques mois après.

Voilà pourquoi j’aimerais poser les questions suivantes à Monsieur le Ministre de l’Économie :

  • Monsieur le Ministre peut-il confirmer cette décision ?
  • Dans l’affirmative, quelles en seraient les raisons ? Endéans quels délais cette fermeture aurait-elle lieu? Combien de clients et d’employés seraient concernés directement par cette décision ?
  • Monsieur le Ministre n’est-il pas d’avis que de telles décisions ont un effet négatif sur la vie sociale et sur le futur économique de tout un village qui vit en partie du commerce local ? »
