Payout and proper justice long overdue

The oldest surviving victim of the Post Office IT scandal, 92-year-old Betty Brown, from County Durham, has finally received a government payout. It comes after it was revealed Sir Alan Bates had agreed a multimillion pound compensation figure with the Post Office.

THE Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry started five years ago, but we have yet to see those at the heart of the scandal brought to justice.

People knew there was a fault with the Horizon system. Someone must pay for it.

I do hope it doesn't end up swept under the carpet and those at fault get off scot-free.

People in charge must answer for what they did. There seems to be no genuine remorse for the damage done to hardworking people.

I worked for the Post Office 60 years ago. It was run by people who cared.

Three major banks decided to close their branches near me, but told customers not to panic and that routine activities could be done at the Post Office.

I went to one yesterday and noticed a flip chart saying it had been taken over and staff are leaving.

Just what is going on? Staff need to be treated better after the last scandal.
