Our local Post Office has a small 'Dogs Not Allowed' sign on it's
front door.

I can understand this where food & drink is for sale, or is being
consumed - Health & Safety rules, etc. But this is just a Post Office
with a tiled floor..

Is this just a jobsworth flaunting his power, or is there a valid law
in operation here?

They probably got sick of clearing up after little 'accidents' ... and also
have a care for Health and Safety and responsibility. If a dog does have an
accident and someone slips on it before it's cleared up who's to blame? Who
will pay the compensation which will almost certainly be sought?

I'd doubt there's a law against it, but it's their PO and they can make the
rules about how much trade they want to potentially turn away, I guess.

IANAL .........
