Twenty-two post offices across Oxfordshire were bracing themselves for a closure announcement this morning.
Wantage MP Ed Vaizey said at the weekend he had been contacted by managers at the Post Office, who disclosed that none of the Oxfordshire branches on the list would be saved from the axe.
An Oxford Mail campaign to save the post offices included a 6,000-signature petition and 150 letters of opposition delivered to 10 Downing Street.
The announcement is expected at 10am
