“HAVE YOUR SAY ON THE WOODLEY POST OFFICE MOVE” says Stunell

February 19, 2014 10:48 AM

Andrew Stunell MP is encouraging all Woodley residents to have their say on the proposed move of Woodley Post Office.

Commenting, Andrew said -

"It's only moving 25 yards to the neighbouring shop, but the consultation is a chance for local people to have their say about what the new shop should be like.

"The Post Office is really getting its act together, with revamped sub-post offices springing up all around. Now it is Woodley's turn for a step up, and I want residents to let them know what they really want."

The Post Office has launched a 6 week local consultation so users of Woodley Post Office can feed their opinions on the proposed move. The move will take the Post Office just 25 metres away from where it is now, remaining on Woodley Precinct.

The scheme is part of a £640 million Coalition Government programme to complete modernisation of Post Office branches country-wide by 2018.

The Woodley consultation opened on 14th February and ends on 28th March, with the move proposed to happen in May 2014. It is part of the Post Office's modernisation programme and will offer users longer opening hours and improved accessibility, in newly refurbished premises. The products and services it offers will not change.

Meanwhile, Romiley Post Office is set to relocate to Prayosha Newsagents, 17 The Precinct, Romiley and will open there at 13:00 on Thursday 27th March.
