A CONSULTATION has been launched over the proposed move of a village post office.
The Post Office is proposing to move West Auckland Post Office from its current location on East Green to the Martin McColl’s store 100m away.
Opening hours at the proposed new location would be 6am to 10pm Monday to Saturday and 7am to 10pm on Sunday, which the company claims would offer customers an extra 65 hours to access services.
The Post Office is inviting customers and interested parties to give their comments on the move in a six week public consultation.
Post Office regional network manager for Scotland and North of England, Sue Richardson, said: “We understand how important having a Post Office is to residents in West Auckland and we are confident that this new modern branch will meet the needs of the local community and secure services for the future.”
The consultation will close on Wednesday, June 19.
