Changes to your Post Office- Delph  

We’re talking to the Postmaster about making some changes to the above Post Office and we’d like you to tell us what you think about the changes before we finalise our plans. What’s happening? There’s an exciting programme of investment and transformation taking place across the Post Office network, helping to make our branches more modern and convenient for you and for the Postmasters who run them. We’re talking to the Postmaster about changing to one of our new-style local branches and if the change goes ahead:  Post Office services would be offered from a open plan style service point

The branch would be open for longer: Mon – Fri 08:00 – 18:00, Sat 09:00 – 17:30 and Sun Closed. (Current opening times are: Mon – Fri 09:00 – 17:30, Sat 09:00 – 12:30 and Sun Closed)  Customers will still be able to get most of the Post Office products and services you’re used to however for a small number of services you may need to visit an alternative Post Office, go on-line or, telephone our customer helpline. Details of product availability are provided overleaf  To get the new branch ready, it may need to close for up to seven days during September/October 2017 for refurbishment What’s next?
