In March, the Daily Echo contacted the company after receiving reports from residents of irregular opening times and regular closures.
At the time, a Post Office spokesperson said: “Boscombe Precinct is experiencing staffing issues and the branch is currently closed on Fridays and Saturdays and other ad hoc times.
“We are working hard to restore a full-time branch in the near future. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. In the interim alternative branches include Boscombe East, Southbourne Grove and Malmesbury Park.”
Residents continued to report issues and the service had not been fully restored until now.
