Overview

We are proposing to move the above Post Office branch to a new location – 25c Thistle Street, Edinburgh, EH2 1DX and subject to consultation, it would be known as Thistle Street Post Office. 

Why are we moving?

This branch is currently operated under a short-term contract, we are therefore proposing to move this branch to an alternative location with a permanent new postmaster, which would be a more sustainable solution.

The proposed new premises are currently empty and would undergo a full refurbishment to incorporate a Confectionery, Tobacco, Newsagent shop, with Stationery, where it would continue to operate as one of our mains style branches.
