The Post Office is reopening Sandsacre Post Office at McColls, in Wheatley Drive, just two doors away from the previous branch, which closed in 2016 due to operational reasons.

It is now consulting on plans to open seven days a week, from 7am to10pm.

Chief operating officer for McColl’s Retail Group, Dave Thomas, said: We are delighted to be welcoming customers to our newly refurbished Sandsacre Post Office, which will offer a wide range of Post Office services alongside our extensive retail offer.

"As a convenience store operator we are always looking for ways to make life easier for our customers and the additional Post Office services will be available for the full opening hours of the store in order to provide an excellent service for the local community.”

Although the decision to reopen the branch has already been made, the Post Office is now inviting customers and interested parties to give their comments on the move in a six-week public consultation.

Kenny Lamont, Network Operations Area Manager said: “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.
