Post Office opening times for Easter Monday 2026 - Pop Reveal | Health, Science & Modern Lifestyle Insights

LONDON, ENGLAND - JANUARY 11: A Post Office van parked outside the venue for the Post Office Horizon IT inquiry at Aldwych House on January 11, 2024 in London, England. Yesterday the British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says the government will introduce a new law to "swiftly exonerate and compensate victims" of wrongful prosecution of Post Office workers over a 16-year period starting just before the new millennium. Between 1999 and 2015, more than 700 Post Office branch managers received criminal convictions, and some were sent to prison, when the faulty Horizon IT system made it appear that money was missing from their sites. A recent television docudrama has thrust the issue back in the spotlight.
