The Post Office will close for refurbishment from Monday 21 November at 5.30pm and posters will be displayed in the branch to ensure all customers are aware of the change.

Cllr Martyn Rawlinson said: “The New Hall Lane Post Office upgrade is great news for the area.

“Many residents from east Preston stopped using the main post office when it moved from Birley Street to Theatre Street. The extended services and opening hours will boost the local shopping area.

“The wider footpaths and increased short term parking in the City Deal highways scheme, due to be completed next year, will encourage people to shop more locaclly and increase passing trade.

“It will also be more convenient for residents who do not shop online. A good decision by the Post Office.”

The Post Office will reopen on Thursday 8 December at 1pm.
