Overview

We are delighted to let you know that we will be restoring the Post Office services to Llanbedr and Talysarn with the introduction of a Hosted Outreach service. 

To serve the communities with continued access to Post Office services, due to no access to the premises during Covid we introduced a Mobile replacement service at Llanbedr and Talysarn. The Mobile service at Llanbedr will cease on Monday 21 June 2021 and the Mobile service at Talysarn will cease on Wednesday 23 June 2021. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by these temporary closures.

 Your new Post Office service

We have continued to work to identify a solution to restore services to the local communities. 

Llanbedr Hosted Outreach service will open at a new location - Wenallt Deli and Tearooms and will commence from Wednesday 30 June 2021.

Talysarn Hosted Outreach service will open at the same previous premises at Talysarn Community Centre and will commence from Monday 28 June 2021.

Following the temporary closure of Ffestiniog Post Office, we will be restoring Post Office services to the community with the introduction of a temporary Mobile service whilst we continue to seek a permanent solution. This Mobile service will commence from Monday 28 June 2021.

At the Post Office we are continually looking to refresh our network and ensure we meet our customer needs. We are therefore pleased to let you know that we are also planning to introduce a new Mobile service to the communities of Llanystumdwy and Gellilydan. The new Mobile service at Llanystumdwy will commence from Tuesday 29 June 2021 and the Mobile service at Gellilydan will start from Monday 28 June 2021.

We are pleased to inform you that the Postmaster from Criccieth Post Office is willing to run the Mobile services and the Hosted Outreach services, which presents the best possible solution to restore Post Office services to these communities.

To accommodate the new Mobile services and the Hosted Outreach services there will be some changes to the current services at Efailnewydd, Llanaelhaearn, Bryncir, Llithfaen, Pant Glas, Clynnogfawr, Abererch, Minffordd, Borth-y-gest, Nasareth, Llanfrothen, Garndolbenmaen, Llanllyfni, Y Fron, Rhosgadfan, Llangybi, Edern and Talsarnau, from the week commencing Monday 28 June 2021.

We constantly monitor the number of customers using Post Office services and we are confident that our proposed changes will be welcomed by our customers in the local communities. 

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 such as access arrangements and the internal layout.

What happens next

Thank you for your support in restoring the Post Office service to the local communites.
