A PUBLIC consultation is underway over plans to relocate a town’s Post Office.

The Post Office is proposing to move its Wolsingham branch into the Spar shop in the Market Place, 30 metres from its present location.

There will be extended opening hours at the new open-plan branch, which will be open from 8am to 9pm seven days a week. This equates to an additional 53 hours and 30 minutes of Post Office service every week.

A six-week consultation will run until Wednesday, November 9, and all feedback will be considered before a final decision is made.

Submissions can be made by post to Freepost, Your Comments, Post Office Ltd, via email to comments@postoffice.co.uk and by phone on 03457-223344 or Textphone 03457-223355. There is also an online questionnaire at postofficeviews.co.uk. Please use the branch code 351309.
