Billingham - TS23 2LR - 009327

Overview

We are proposing to move Billingham Post Office to the nearby vacant retail store at 53 Queensway, Billingham, TS23 2ND where it would be run by Jassraaj Enterprise Ltd. The majority of products and services for customers would be unchanged and opening hours would be increased.

This move is part of the continuing modernisation of our branch network. We believe the most effective way to secure the long term viability of Post Office services in Billingham is through a carefully selected retail partner, and we are confident that our proposal is the best way of safeguarding services for the community for years to come.  The vast majority of our 11,600 Post Office branches, large and small, are successfully operated in this way with retail partners and we believe this is the best approach to keeping Post Offices in main shopping locations and at the heart of communities where they play in an important role in local economies.

Why your views matter

We'd welcome your views on the proposal. The change of management of the branch to one that is operated by a retail partner rather than by us directly is a commercial decision for Post Office Ltd and therefore we are not seeking feedback on this aspect of the change. However we welcome feedback and comments that can help inform our plans.
