Overview

We are proposing to move the above Post Office branch to a new location: Matt's Food Wine & More, 1A The Street, Barrow, Bury Edmunds, IP29 5AN, where it would continue to operate as one of our local style branches, subject to consultation.

Why are we proposing this move?

The current postmaster has resigned. We are pleased to inform you that a new agent has been appointed who has identified an alternative location to operate Barrow Post Office from the above proposed premises. We are confident that maintaining a local style branch alongside a successful retail store is the most effective way to maintain a Post Office service in the local community into the future.

Our priority is to safeguard our services in the locality in the longer term and the relocation of Barrow Post Office would enable us to maintain a Post Office  service to our customers in the local community.
