Post Office on the move – but not far

But residents in Hornsea would not have to alter their travel arrangements much as the proposed new facility would be at the next door newsagents, at 4, The Greenway.

They would also benefit from greater access to Post Office services, as the switch would see the branch open an extra 54 hours a week.

Adrian Wales, Post Office regional network manager for central England, said: “We understand how important having a Post Office is to residents in Hornsea and we are confident that this new modern branch will make it easier for our customers to do business with us and also secure services for the future.”

He added: “The proposed changes to the branch are part of a three-year investment programme, the largest in the history of the Post Office, that will see around 6,000 branches – about half the Post Office network – converting to new-style branches. The investment marks a commitment to no more branch closure programmes.”
