A NEW type of Post Office branch is coming to Holme Wood.
Holme Stores, on Halesworth Crescent, will gain the service from Monday, July 10 at 1pm.
A lighter, flexible branch format called Drop & Collect will be available at the store.
It will offer Post Office services from a handheld device, providing convenient access for customers to bill payments and prepaid parcel collections and returns.
A wider range of Post Office services are available from the nearby branches on Tong Street and Sticker Lane.
The opening hours for the service are 8am-8pm (Monday-Saturday) and 8am-5pm (Sunday).
Ward Councillor Matt Edwards (Tong) said: "This is good news for Holme Wood residents.
"Holme Wood lost its post office on The Parade quite a few years ago now, so I am glad that Post Office are looking to bring this more basic format Post Office into the community."
