Beeston in south Leeds is one of the hardest areas to be hit with the closure of three of its post offices.
Councillor Adam Ogilvie (Lab, Beeston & Holbeck), who spearheaded a protest campaign in his ward only last month, said: "This is a disaster, especially for the elderly who are going to have to drag themselves all the way over to the Old Lane Post Office.
