Overview

We are proposing to move this branch to Martin McColls, 94 Oakfield Road, Whickham, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE16 5QU, where it will operate as one of our new local style branches.

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 Operator have advised us that they wish to close their retail operation at the above site and move the Post Office service into their other convenience store nearby. The Operator firmly believes that the move will help secure continued access to Post Office services locally, as well as supporting the viability of their business.
