The previous branch at 28-29 Victoria, Avenue Bishop closed in December after the previous operator resigned.
Kenny Lamont, Post Office Network Provision Lead Manager, said: “We are delighted to soon be restoring a Post Office to this area as we know how important a Post Office is to a community. The branch’s opening hours will make it convenient for customers to visit.
“We are keen to restore this branch to the area as soon as possible, so we have decided to go ahead with our plans.”
