“We are confident customers will be pleased with the flexibility and convenience of the new Post Office service.”
The branch at McColl’s closed due to the resignation of the operator and the closure of the shop.
Damien Haydock, the Post Office’s multiples account executive, said: “We are delighted to be able to safeguard Post Office service to the area in the long term. We are confident that this vibrant new-style Post Office at the heart of the local community will meet customer needs.”
