Gravesend DA11 0TA - 160014

Overview

We are proposing to move the above Post Office branch to a new location - 34 Kempthorne Street, St Georges Centre, Gravesend, DA11 0TA, where it will continue to operate as one of our main style branches.

Why are we proposing this move?

The current operator has resigned, and the premises will no longer be available for Post Office. We have therefore had to identify an alternative location to continue to offer Post Office services to the local community. We are pleased to confirm that arrangements have been made for this Post Office to relocate to a new premises which is currently empty and will undergo a refurbishment to incorporate Gravesend Post Office which will be operated by a new postmaster, subject to consultation.

Our priority is to safeguard our services in the locality in the longer term and the relocation of Gravesend Post Office will enable us to maintain a Post Office service to our customers in the local community.

Your new Post Office branch

Customers would access Post Office services in a modern, open-plan environment alongside the operator’s retail. Working with the postmaster, we’d adapt the premises layout, fixtures and fittings to accommodate the Post Office. It will be in a dedicated area of the store with two screened  positions. The full range of Post Office products and services would be available. We’d also add a low-screened, modern Post Office till at the retail counter offering most Post Office products and services over longer opening hours, so customers can access their Post Office when it’s convenient. 

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.
