The Post Office said its branch in Langney Shopping Centre will close on Wednesday, July 20, at 5.30pm as the postmaster for the area has given the company notice to leave.

A Post Office spokesperson said: “We are working hard to keep any period of closure to a minimum and we are currently investigating the options available which will enable us to reinstate a Post Office service to the local community.
