A MODERNISED Post Office branch will open in Farsley next month.

The branch on Town Street will have four counters, a secure fortress position and a combi-counter.

It opens on March 5 at 1pm and will replace the current Farsley Post Office, which will close on February 17 at 5.30pm for refurbishment work. Customers will be able to use Pudsey Post Office, on Church Lane, or Woodhall Park Post Office, Bradford Road, in the meantime.

Julie Kemp, area manager, said: “We are confident that this vibrant, modern Post Office at the heart of the community will be popular.”
