Overview

We are delighted to let you know that following the temporary closure of Hailsham Post Office we will be re-opening the branch in June/July 2019. This will be in a new location - 10 High Street, Hailsham, BN27 1BJ. 

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 current store layout, fixtures and fittings to accommodate the Post Office. It will be in a dedicated area of the store with two screened and two open-plan positions. The full range of Post Office products and services would be available. Customer satisfaction with these style of branches stands at 95 per cent.

We have provided posters for display in the local area to let customers know the good news. Please do also share this information with any local groups or organisations that you know within the community, for example on noticeboards, local charities and in GP surgeries, to help our customers and your constituents understand what is happening to the Post Office in Hailsham.

We are keen to restore services to this community as soon as possible so we are now progressing with these plans. However, we would welcome suggestions about specific aspects of the change such as access arrangements and the internal layout.

What happens next

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