Motorists can tax their cars at post offices for at least 7 more years
MPs in the region have welcomed the announcement motorists will be able to tax their cars at post offices for at least seven more years.
The Government said the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) was awarding a new contract to the Post Office to provide DVLA services until 2020. The £450 million contract, with the option for a three-year extension, will mean drivers will be able to get their vehicle excise duty car tax discs from post offices, in addition to applying for driving licences at certain branches.

Stephen Gilbert, Liberal Democrat MP for St Austell and Newquay, said: "Post offices are a vital part of our communities here in Cornwall and this news helps to put them on a more sustainable footing for the future."
