PLANS to move Alston's Post Office into new premises have been shelved.
Last month, it was revealed that the town's post office will move from its current premises on Front Street next door to the Crown Hotel on Monday February 24.
However, the Post Office announced this week that it will remain in its current premises.
A letter from the Post Office's regional change manager Kenny Lamont said: "The new agent has decided not to operate the branch from The Crown at Front Street. The current Post Office branch will therefore continue to operate from its present location.
"However, we may carry out a further local public consultation on another location in the future. In line with our Principles of Community Engagement, any future proposed new location would be subject to a further 6-week period of local public consultation."
