Birkenhead CH41 2XX - 452420

Overview

We are delighted to let you know that following the temporary closure of Birkenhead Post Office we will be re-opening the branch on Friday 8 July 2022 at 13:00.

This will be in a new location - 2 Princess Pavement, Grange Precinct, Birkenhead, CH41 2XY, (formerly Yorkshire Bank). The new premises, which are currently empty, will undergo a full refurbishment to incorporate the retail store with Birkenhead Post Office.

You may be aware following our partners, WH Smith, withdrawing the Post Office services from the above premises, the above branch closed temporarily in June 2021.

In the interim, to serve the local community with continued access to Post Office services we set up a temporary Post Office service, in November 2021, which is operating from, 6 Princes Pavement, Grange Precinct, Birkenhead, CH41 2XY. This service will cease from Thursday 7 July 2022.

We are pleased to let you know that your new Birkenhead Post Office branch will open on Friday 8 July 2022 at 13:00 at the new premises.

So that the equipment can be moved, the current Post Office service will close from the temporary location on Thursday 7 July 2022 at 17:00. We are sorry for any inconvenience this short period of closure may cause.

Your new Post Office branch

Customers would access Post Office services at three screened Post Office serving counters. Working with the postmaster, we’d adapt the current store layout, fixtures and fittings to accommodate a new modern, main style Post Office branch.

The branch will continue to offer the same range of Post Office products and services.  

We have provided posters for display at the the temporary Post Office service premises to let customers know the good news. 

We are keen to restore services to this community as soon as possible so we are now progressing with these plans. However, we would welcome suggestions about specific aspects of the change that might benefit customers, particularly on access into the premises and its internal layout.

Why your views matter

Whilst the decision has already been made to reopen this branch, we would still like your views on access at the new location. We welcome feedback that can help inform our plans and the questionnaire below asks for comments on the following areas:

• Access into the new premises (Question 4)
• Access inside the new premises (Question 5)
• Any further feedback on our plans (Question 6)

What happens next

Thank you for your support in restoring the Post Office service in Birkenhead.
