A NEW-look post office reopens in Birkenshaw, later this month offering a seven-days a week service.

It will have a post office terminal alongside the store till at the new location in Bradford Road, which is 800 metres from where the old post office used to be.

Its opening hours from Tuesday, February 24, will be 7am to 9pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 8pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Simon Drinkwater, post office regional 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.

“We are confident that reopening Birkenshaw post office at the heart of the community will be popular.

“The modernisation is part of a major Government investment programme that is enabling us to continue investing in the post office network and to map out a bold growth strategy through to the end of the decade.”
