Great Massingham Mobile PE32 2HY - 077131

Overview

We are really pleased to let you know that we are restoring Post Office services to the community of Whissonsett with the introduction of a permanent Mobile service. The new Mobile service will commence on Friday 9 September 2022 at 09:00, operating from outside Village Hall, London Street, Whissonsett, Dereham, NR20 5ST.

Since the closure of the above service we have continued to work to identify a solution to restore services to the local community. We are  therefore introducing a Mobile service, which is a tried and tested way of maintaining service to smaller communities.

The Mobile Service is a travelling Post Office aboard a specifically designed vehicle that brings Post Office services and retail products to communities without relying on fixed premises that has formed part of our operational network for some years now. 

We are therefore pleased to inform you that the postmaster from Great Massingham Post Office is willing to offer services to the above location. The establishment of Mobile service presents the best possible solution to restore Post Office services to the community of Whissonsett. Further details of the new Mobile service are provided in the letter below.

To accommodate the new Mobile service, there will be some changes to the operating hours of the current Mobile services, also managed by the postmaster from Great Massingham Post Office, at Helhoughton, East Rudham, Bircham, Ingoldisthorpe, Snettisham and West Newton, commencing from Friday 9 September 2022.

We constantly monitor the number of customers using Post Office services and we are confident that our proposed changes will be welcomed by our customers in the local communities. 

As we are keen to restore services to the community of Whissonsett as soon as possible, we have decided to go ahead with our plans. Restoring the service as a Mobile service is a commercial decision for Post Office Ltd and we are not seeking feedback on this aspect of the change. However, we would welcome suggestions about specific aspects of the change, particularly on the following areas:

• How suitable do you think the new location is and how easy is it to get there?
• Do you have any comments on the planned day and opening hours?

What happens next

Thank you for your support in restoring the Post Office service in Whissonsett.
