What's happening at Stone Post Office?

I've just popped into town and immediately came upon a throng of people outside the Post Office, all reading a notice in the door window. On closer inspection it is an announcement that the Post Office is closed 'until further notice'. No explanation given but fairly full details of alternative Post Offices who will deal with parcels, Excise Licences etc. The notice is printed on officially headed Post Office paper so this looks pretty serious.

Recently the Post Office has undergone a refurbishment and applied for an off licence to sell alcohol. I assumed that this was a new business plan to create another type of business inside the premises to run parallel with the Post Office.

It will be very sad and serious if the long term future of the Post Office is in jeopardy. Let's hope that the problem can be resolved without too much delay.
