Bowmore PA43 7JH - 161858

Overview

We are proposing, to move the Post Office branch to a new location – Re-jig, Shore Street, Bowmore, Isle of Islay, PA43 7LB. 

As you will be aware, our Postmasters operate Post Office branches alongside their private retail business, and it is important that they make the very best use of their resources to ensure future sustainability of both their business and the Post Office service.  In this case, the Postmaster has identified an opportunity to move this branch into their other premises nearby.  Our Postmaster firmly believes that the move will help secure continued access to Post Office services locally, as well as supporting the viability of their business.

We are pleased to let you know that we are enhancing the range of products which will be available at the new branch and customers will still be able to transact manual banking, Royal Mail and Parcelforce Worldwide International parcels.  Additionally cheques will continue to be accepted as a method of payment. 

• What will this mean for customers?

• Post Office services will be offered from a till in a modern open plan branch

• The majority of Post Office products and services will still be available

• Longer opening hours

  This change is part of a major programme of modernisation taking place across the Post Office network, the largest in the history of Post Office Ltd.  The Programme is underpinned by Government investment and will see up to 8,000 branches modernised and additional investment in over 3,000 community and outreach branches.
