Blackburn BB1 6AT - 150427

Overview

We are proposing to move the above Post Office branch to a new location - 4-6 Railway Road, Blackburn, BB1 5AX, formally Crawshaws, where it will continue to operate as one of our main style branches.

Why are we proposing this move?

Unfortunately, the postmaster’s lease for the current premises is due to expire and the premises will no longer be available for Post Office use. As the premises will no longer be available for Post Office use, the postmaster has identified an opportunity to move this branch into an alternative new location to continue to offer Post Office services to the local community.

The premises are currently empty and would undergo a full refurbishment to incorporate Blackburn Post Office and a conveniences store, subject to consultation.

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