Post Office

The Post Office Has now relocated to the Old Chapel Stores and will continue to operate at the usual times: 10.00 am to 1.00 pm on Monday, Tuesday and Friday.    Please use the Post Office so we don't lose even these shortened hours!

How will this affect those of you who would normally use the Post Office on Wednesday or Thursday? For instance -

What happens if you have always collected your pension on Thursday?  You will still be able to collect your pension — on Monday, Tuesday or Friday.

What happens if you turn up at five to one with 10 parcels to post?  The postmaster will not leave until you have been served. That is guaranteed.

And rest assured — our reduced service is only a reduction of hours. All the services that that were normally provided, such as paying bills, getting cash etc., will continue to be available.
In due course the Post Office will look again at the level of service they are providing. How much and how often we use the Post Office can make a difference. If Buckland Newton demonstrates that it clearly needs more than 9 hours a week, then there is a good chance that we can negotiate more hours. It is up to us.
