Overview

We are proposing to move the above Post Office service to a new location - Beckingham Village Store, The Green, Beckingham, DN10 4NL. Where it will operate as one of our local style branches.

Why are proposing this move?

As you may be aware, the postmaster from Wheatley Post Office has been operating the above service as an Outreach operating on Wednesday’s and Friday’s. We are delighted to inform you that the postmaster has identified an opportunity to move into an alternative location to continue to offer Post Office services to the local community. The proposed location will enable the service to operate as a Partner style branch offering significantly longer hours.

The proposed premises, which is currently empty is undergoing a refurbishment to incorporate Beckingham Post Office and a new village store. Our priority is to safeguard Post Office services to the local community in the longer term and the postmaster firmly believes that the move would help secure continued access to Post Office services locally.
