Overview

We are proposing to move Bolton Post Office to the vacant retail premises at 12 Oxford Street, Bolton, BL1 1RF where it would be run by our new retail partner.

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 Bolton 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’re carrying out a local public consultation and we’d welcome your views on the proposal. We welcome feedback and comments that can help inform our plans.
