Graham Brander, Post Office network provision lead, said: “We are delighted to have a modern Post Office inside a modern store. The new Postmaster undertook the major work to modernise the premises and he has introduced much longer opening hours too.”

The new Post Office opening hours are Monday to Saturday: 8am – 7pm.

This is an additional 37 hours and 30 minutes of Post Office service a week with earlier opening and much later closing.

It also marks an end to lunchtime closing for the convenience of customers.
