Question 6636 — positions

Summary

Ms. Sandrine Runel draws the attention of the Minister of Public Action, Civil Service and Simplification to the consequences of the successive closures of numerous post offices and to the resulting restrictions on access to postal services for fellow citizens, particularly in urban areas. The public service missions entrusted to the La Poste group as part of its contribution to regional planning are governed by the law of July 2, 1990. This, modified by the laws of May 20, 2005 and February 9, 2010, provides in particular that 90% of the population of each department must be able to access postal services within a radius of five kilometers or within a twenty-minute journey. During an exchange with the territorial representatives of the La Poste group, present in the constituency of the Member of Parliament, in the Lyon territory, he He was told that this objective has, to date, been achieved: the accessibility rate would be 97% nationally and 99.5% in the Rhône department. However, these criteria appear today to be unsuitable for the realities of dense urban areas. In the 3rd arrondissement of Lyon, a strong citizen mobilization recently opposed the closure of a local post office. During a rally in front of the office of station, participants clocked a walk time of over twenty minutes to the nearest office. This distance or travel time criterion was initially designed for rural areas and no longer reflects the real conditions of accessibility in the city. It does not take into account walking as the main mode of travel, nor the physical constraints of certain users as well as safety issues. urban. It also ignores the growing needs for a local public service, in particular for the elderly, isolated, precarious or disabled people. The gradual closure of several Lyon offices in recent years fuels a feeling of abandonment and contributes to weakening the bond of trust between citizens and public services. The MP therefore asks the Minister to initiate a reflection to develop the legislative or regulatory framework governing postal presence, in order to adapt accessibility criteria to the specificities of dense urban areas. She also questions him on the measures that the Government intends to implement to guarantee real local access to the postal service in major cities.
