A POST Office which was temporarily closed has now reopened in Ensbury Park.

The service has been restored to the area at a new location - Ensbury Wine.

People will be able to post letters and parcels, collect and return online shopping items as well as use banking services.

It had closed down in 2016 due to the resignation of the Postmaster and the withdrawal of the premises for Post Office use.

Matt Walls, Post Office Change Manager, said: “We are delighted to have restored a Post Office to Ensbury Park.

“The branch is also open longer hours than before. We are making it easier for customers to get their cash, send and collect their mail and do their banking because we know how important these services are to local residents.

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

The branch will be open 8am-8pm on weekdays with a later opening time of 9am over the weekend, offering 82 hours of Post Office service per week.
