The reopening date for a Carlton Post Office which has been closed for nearly three weeks has been confirmed. The branch within the old McColls store on Carlton Hill has been shut since Thursday, January 19.
It has now been confirmed the branch will now reopen on Friday, February 24 under new management of an independent postmaster at the former McColls shop.
The opening hours will be Monday to Sunday from 6am to 10pm.
Callum Bonfield, post office partner account manager, said: “I know the local community will join me in welcoming this good news and hope that our customers will continue to use the service.
“If there are any unforeseen changes to the opening date then posters will be displayed in the branch to let people know.”
The Post Office had been housed in the McColls store but services stopped when the chain went into administration and although it was saved by Morrisons in a £190m rescue bid, the branch in Carlton Hill, was one of six of McColl’s Nottinghamshire stores to shut.
Some good news for once. Will save my legs. I’m really pleased with this. I hear Tom Randall helped to fight to keep it open. Thanks Tom
Is it still in the McColls shop?
Will it still be a pay point?
They say that similar services will be available apparently …. we’ll wait and see
