Shoppers in Arnold will now have to wait a little longer until they can pay a visit to the town’s new-look Market Place.
The £4m AMP complex was expected to open last week but Gedling Borough Council has now issued a further statement today as delays continue to impact the project.
The owners of Arnold Post Office have also continued to voice their frustrations about the delayed opening on social media. They will be the first business to operate out of the new multi-million pound centre.
The post office have recently been posted pictures on their social media account showing off their new space, which is ready to open.
On Friday they posted: “I’m really sorry we can’t give you any news about the opening because the council’s promised updates have not been provided.
“I’m really grateful for your patience and rest assured the second I know I will be opening I will let you.
They added: “Fingers crossed the Hallowe’en display won’t be out of date!”
The new building was expected to open up to the public last Tuesday (September 27).
Gedling Borough Council has issued a statement in response to growing anger over the delay.

A council spokesman said: “We have been in regular contact with the Post Office, we updated them yesterday (Monday) explaining that the situation was still that we are waiting for the contractors to sign the building off as complete. This is out of our control and with the contractors. We cannot open the building until it is signed off. As soon as this is done, we will be announcing the details including the other new tenants joining the AMP.
“We will update the Post Office and residents as soon as we have more information and, once again, we want to thank everyone for their patience.”
The nearest Post Office branches for Arnold residents are: Killisick Estate Post Office, 7 Beechwood Road, Arnold, NG5 8BA and Daybrook Post Office, 131 Sherbrook Road, Daybrook, NG5 6AS.
