A Post Office in Ashton-on-Ribble is to close for a major refit.

The Larches branch is receiving the new-style and will shut for two and a half weeks.

Customers are being advised to use the Lane Ends or Blackpool Road branches in the meantime.

The Post Office is modernising its branches across the country – and needs to shut the Larches branch for the work. It has recently carried out the revamp on the New Hall Lane branch.

It closes on Monday 24 July at 5.30pm and will re-open at 1pm on Thursday 3 August.
