Post Office

The High Street branch of the Post Office closed unexpectedly on the 13th November 2009 and re-opened at 79-81 High Street on the 24th February 2010. This is a temporary measure, and Post Office Ltd. carried out a consultation in July and August 2010 on plans to move the branch permanently to 77a High Street (the former site of Walton Clothing).
