Overview

We are proposing to move the above Post Office branch to a new location – Wagon Convenience Store, 101 Wagon Road, Greasbrough, Rotherham, S61 4QE.

Why are we moving?

As you may be aware, the above branch is currently operated on our behalf by a temporary agent. I am pleased to confirm that a new permanent agent has been appointed and intends to relocate this Post Office to their convenience store.

Your new Post Office branch

Customers would access Post Office services at a low-screened, open-plan, modern serving point 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 till if needed. The branch will offer a wide range of Post Office products and services over longer opening hours, so customers can access their Post Office when it’s convenient. 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 to everyone who took the time to let us have their comments and provide information during public consultation. Public consultation was ongoing until 18 March 2020 and we’re currently considering all feedback received before making a final decision on the future of the service. Due to current unforeseen circumstances this will take longer as usual. We will update you once the decision has been made and publish this information here, www.postofficeviews.co.uk. We will also update customers by displaying posters at the branch.
