Question 14423 — positions

Summary

Mr. Vincent Descoeur draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy and Finance to the concerns of local elected officials and La Poste users regarding the procedure for reorganizing post office hours in municipalities with less than 2,000 inhabitants. The territorial presence contract signed for the 2017-2019 period between the State, the Association of Mayors of France, the presidents of intercommunalities and La Poste provides that “the changes in timetables are adapted to the rhythms of life of residents, including Saturday mornings, in connection with local economic life, in particular with commercial and/or tourist activities existing in the municipalities concerned. It stipulates that “any change in the weekly opening hours of a post office must be the subject of a report formalized by La Poste and submitted to the mayor of the municipality concerned who has a period of 2 months (a period which can be extended to 3 months at the express request of the mayor) to transmit its observations within the framework of a dialogue with the representative of La Poste. This contract does not specify under what conditions the mayor can oppose a decision by La Poste when it substantially modifies the opening hours of an office, in particular when it decides to close certain days of the week or when the new schedules are clearly unsuitable for local needs and dynamics. The mayors certainly receive information from La Poste but find themselves faced with a fait accompli without really having the means to put forward their arguments. He asks how the Government intends to ensure that the opinion of local elected officials is taken into account when La Poste substantially modifies the opening hours of a post Office.
