The Post Offices earmarked for closure are:

• Ardington

• Childrey
• Combe
• Crowmarsh
• Dalton Barracks, Abingdon
• Farmoor
• Fyfield
• Grandpont, Oxford
• Grimsbury, Banbury
• Church Way, Iffley, Oxford
• Villiers Road, Bicester

• Orchard Way, Banbury
• Stanmore Crescent, Carterton
• Stanton St John
• Upton
• West End, Witney
• Wolvercote, Godstow Road
• Wootton, near Woodstock
• Wootton Road, Abingdon
• Wytham.

The five West Oxfordshire branches proposed for "replacement solutions" are Chadlington, Enstone, Great Rollright, Great Tew, and Tackley.

A six-week consultation period on the proposals starts today and people have until Monday, March 17, to comment.
