Bow EX17 6HU - 720519

Overview

We are proposing to move the above Post Office service to a new location - Bow Garden Centre, Bow Bridge, Bow, Credition, EX17 6LA, where it will operate as one of our new local style branches.

Why are we moving?

A new agent has been identified to operate the above Post Office. Our priority is to safeguard Post Office services to the local community in the longer term.  The relocation of Bow Post Office will enable us to maintain a Post Office service to our customers in the local community.

 The current Mobile Service will cease on Friday 1 March 2019 and your new-look Post Office branch will open at the new premises on Monday 4 March 2019 at 13:00.

Your new Post Office branch

Customers would access Post Office services at a low-screened, open-plan, modern serving point that’s part of the retail counter. Working with the postmaster, we’d adapt the current store layout, fixtures and fittings to accommodate the Post Office till if needed. The branch will offer a wide range of Post Office products and services over longer opening hours, so customers can access their Post Office when it’s convenient. Customer satisfaction with local style branches stands at 96 per cent, and nearly 20 per cent of local branch customers visit outside traditional opening hours.

Why your views matter

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

What happens next

Thank you for considering our proposal. We will take into account any information and feedback we receive as we finalise our plans for the new branch.
