However, the branch is now due to open to customers under a new postmaster at the One Stop on Tuesday, November 5 from 1pm.

The Post Office said: “The new branch will offer customers a wide range of Post Office services alongside the retail counter of the store, which is an independent One Stop store.
“The branch will be open Monday to Saturday, 7am to 9pm, and Sunday, 8am to 8pm. This will offer 96 hours of Post Office service a week, making it very convenient to visit.”
Anthony Bayley, Post Office change manager, said: “We are delighted to be restoring a Post Office to Orton Malborne. The branch will also be open longer hours than before.
