Post Office chiefs have today announced there will be a delay to the reopening of a Post Office on Carlton Hill.
The branch within the old McColls store on Carlton Hill has been shut since Thursday, January 19 – but was set to reopen today (24).
The branch is being reopened under new management of an independent postmaster at the former McColls shop.
A statement to Gedling Eye from a Post Office spokesperson, said: “Carlton Hill Post Office was planned to re-open today, however, there has been a delay. We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause. We will soon be able to advise a revised opening date.”
Previous communication from the Post Office said: “If there are any unforeseen changes to the opening date then posters will be displayed in the branch to let people know.”
There was no evidence of work or posters displayed in the old post office when Gedling Eye visited today (24).
One customer who wished to remain anonymous said: “I’m so disappointed, I have to get a bus to the nearest post office since last month. I hope it opens soon”
The Post Office will again be housed in the former McColls store
Services were stopped when the chain went into administration and although it was saved by Morrisons in a £190m rescue bid, the branch was one of six stores to be shut in Notts.
