Post Office, Wakefield: Under threat city centre Post Office saved following campaign

Wakefield is to retain its city centre Post Office branch following an MP’s campaign.

Simon Lightwood last month launched a petition calling for services to remain in the city centre after TG Jones, previously WH Smith, announced plans to close its branch at its store in Trinity Walk Shopping Centre.

Mr Lightwood, Labour MP for Wakefield and Rothwell, confirmed that a new branch would be relocating to premises at The Springs and was set open on March 13 this year.
