MOWDEN Park Post Office is set to benefit from modernisation and extended opening hours.

The office, on Fulthorpe Avenue, will close at 2pm on May 30 and reopen on June 10 at 9am to enable the refurbishment to take place.

The building will be transformed into a new open-plan branch and will be open an extra 11 hours over the course of a week – including staying open until 6.30pm on Wednesdays and Fridays.

The work is part of the Post Office’s three-year investment programme which is seeing around 6,000 branches across the country undergoing modernisation.

Customers are advised to use their next nearest post offices in Cockerton and Blackwell during the course of the work.
