A TOWN on the Herefordshire border which has already lost all of its banks is about to lose its post office as well. Hay-on-Wye was left without a bank after Barclays closed the last branch in the town in 2018, with people able to make transactions at the post office. But now the post office in High Town is expected to close by the end of June. Steve Like, whose family has run the post office for more than 60 years, said he has tried without success to sell the business as a going concerns over the last five years. He apologised for leaving the town in the position where it does not have any banks or a post office, but he has handed in his resignation.
