A POST Office has reopened at Barton-on-Sea after being closed two years ago.

The Sea Road Post Office reopened at its new location of Barton News, Cliff Terrace, Marine Drive, Barton-on-Sea, on Friday.

Post Office area network change manager, Carlos Pereira, said: "We are delighted to be able to restore a service to our customers in the local community and in time for the busy Christmas period.

"We are confident that this vibrant new-style Post Office at the heart of the local community will meet customer needs."

Services will be delivered from an open-plan till alongside the retail counter.

It is open Monday to Sunday, 7am-6pm.
