Post Office Scandal: "It was a huge cover-up"
Available for over a year
New ITV drama 'Mr Bates vs The Post Office' tells the stories of those affected by the Post Office Horizon IT scandal. One of those is former Dorset sub-postmistress Tracey Merritt who ran Yetminster and Chetnole post offices and was sacked after being wrongly accused of stealing £13,500. She's been talking to Âé¶¹Éç Radio Solent's Steve Harris about her experience and the new ITV series. A Post Office spokesperson told us they're "deeply sorry" and are doing all they can to right the wrongs of the past, as far as that is possible. Offers of compensation totalling more than £130 million have been made to date - the vast majority of which have been agreed and paid.
