"I felt a bit coerced. It was set up as a PR stunt. I don't want to endorse something that I just don't think is right."
"The general reaction from subpostmasters was that they never want to be seen in the place as its far too close to the Post Office headquarters at Mount Pleasant. It's almost like walking back into some kind of prison again."
"We appreciate that discussing the devastating impact of the scandal can be difficult for people, and we are grateful to everyone who has engaged and shared their views. We look forward to continuing to work with them on this and other aspects of the project."
Victims of the Post Office Horizon scandal have rejected a planned exhibition at the Postal Museum and refused to endorse it. The inquiry announced work with the Postal Museum as part of a legacy project to commemorate the scandal's devastating impact. Many victims who advised the legacy project expressed suspicion and trauma from a meeting at the museum. The Postal Museum receives part-funding from the Post Office, which many victims say undermines trust. Several former subpostmasters described feeling coerced and compared visiting the museum near Mount Pleasant to returning to a prison. The idea of museum involvement originated from focus-group discussions with post office operators.
