INKBERROW post office could be moved to new premises, under plans being considered by Post Office Limited.

The proposed new location is The Forge Shop in High Street, which is 390-metres from the current post office, and would be a “modern, open-plan, local-style branch”.

Post office services would be available from a till at the shop counter instead of from a separate screened counter, opening for 53 hours and 30 minutes longer each week than current provision.

Julia Marwood, area manager for Post Office Limited, said: “We understand how important having a post office is to residents in Inkberrow and we are confident that this new modern post office service will meet the needs of the local community and secure services for the future.

“This modernisation is part of a major investment programme, the largest in our history, and marks a commitment to no more branch closure programmes.”

If the move go ahead, the branch would open from 7am to 8pm daily.

Members of the public are being invited to submit their opinions on the plans by Thursday, July 9, in writing to Freepost Your Comments, Post Office Ltd, by email to comments@postoffice.co.uk, or by calling 08457 223344.
