STOCKSFIELD Post Office may soon move along the road into the village’s service station.

The Post Office has announced plans to move Branch End Post Office into the Spar store at Branch End Service Station.

The move will extend the facility’s opening hours.

If integrated into the Spar convenience store, the Post Office will be open for an extra 64 hours every week, opening from 6am to 9pm, Monday to Sunday.

New Post Office products and services will be available including banking services.

The plans are part of a larger modernisation programme across the Post Offices network.

A six-week public consultation on the proposals will run until January 2017.

Submissions can be made by Freepost, Your Comments to Post Office Limited, via email to comments@postoffice.co.uk or via the customer helpline on 03457 223344.
