He added: “ Good news: The same services, serving positions, and access arrangements will remain in place.
“New Tuesday hours: From 12 November, Tuesday opening will begin at 09:00 (previously 09:30).
“Note: Paystation services will be unavailable during the closure but will resume upon reopening.”
However, some people warned that the existing post office staff have been let go from their positions, with new workers being brought in.
David Reading commented: “A heads up. All the existing staff have had to leave, and new staff will be in place.
“So please, if you like me have had brilliant service for many years from the hard-working staff, please pop in and wish them all the best and say thank you and all the best for the future.”
Helen Dabell said: “Absolutely terrible that the existing staff cannot apply for their jobs with all the years of experience they have, disgusting.
“I thank them for all their hard work and wish them well for the future.”
