Earls Colne CO6 2PA - 191116

Overview

We are proposing to move the above Post Office branch to a new location – Fork Andles, 52 High Street, Earls Colne, Colchester, CO6 2PB. 

Why are we moving?

The lease for the current premises is due to expire in the near future. We have therefore had to identify an alternative location to continue to offer Post Office services to the local community.

The new premises, which is currently empty, will undergo a refurbishment to incorporate a Hardware store and Earls Colne Post Office. We are pleased to let you know that, the current Postmaster will continue to operate this service from these new premises and it will continue to provide the same wide range of products and services and the hours will remain unchanged.

Your new Post Office branch

Customers would access Post Office services at two low-screened, open-plan, modern serving points 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 tills if needed. The branch will offer a wide range of Post Office products and the opening hours would remain the same.  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.
