Hawthorn Road - EH32 9QW - 156824

Overview

We are proposing, with the Postmaster’s agreement, to move the above Post Office branch to a new location – Scotmid Co-operative, Hawthorn Road, Prestonpans, EH32 9QW and proposing to change the name of the branch to Bankton Post Office.  We are pleased to tell you that, if the move goes ahead, subject to consultation it will change to one of our new local style branches.

What will this mean for customers?

• Post Office services will be offered from a till on the retail counter in a modern open plan branch
• Longer opening hours
• The majority of Post Office products and services will still be available.

This change is part of a major programme of modernisation taking place across the Post Office network, the largest in the history of Post Office Ltd.  The Programme is underpinned by Government investment and will see up to 8,000 branches modernised and additional investment in over 3,000 community and outreach branches.

Why your views matter

We’re carrying out a local public consultation and we’d welcome your views on the proposal. We welcome feedback and comments that can help inform our plans.
