Overview

We are delighted to let you know that we will be restoring Post Office services to the communities of Isle of Scalpay and Amhuinnsuidhe with the introduction of a Mobile service.

We’ve been working hard to identify a solution to restore services locally and a Mobile service, which 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, is a tried and tested way of maintaining service to smaller communities.

We are therefore pleased to inform you that the postmaster from Harris Post Office is willing to run these Mobile services, which presents the best possible solution to restore Post Office services to the communities of Isle of Scalpay and Amhuinnsuidhe. These new Mobile services will commence from the week of Monday 11 January 2021.

To accommodate the new Mobile services there will be some changes to the current services at Bayble, Drinnishader, Laxay, Lemreway, Keose and Leverburgh from the week commencing Monday 11 January 2021.
