Haywards Heath RH16 4LQ - 008912

Overview

Haywards Heath Post Office closed temporarily on Saturday 13 October 2018, due to Co-op giving us notice that they wish to close their store at the premises. We were able to re-establish service in the same location from Wednesday 24 October, which allows us to continue to provide Post Office services to the local community during the busy Christmas period, pending a longer term solution.

We are now proposing to move Haywards Heath Post Office to a new location - WHSmith, 65 South Road, Haywards Heath, RH16 4LQ.  If the move goes ahead the branch will be run by WHSmith High Street Ltd, with extended opening hours including Sundays.

This move is part of the continuing modernisation of our branch network.  We believe the most effective way to secure the long term viability of Post Office services in Haywards Heath is through a carefully selected retail partner, and we are confident that our proposal is the best way of safeguarding services for the community for years to come.  The vast majority of our 11,600 Post Office branches, large and small, are successfully operated in this way with retail partners and we believe this is the best approach to keeping Post Offices in main shopping locations and at the heart of communities where they play in an important role in local economies.

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.
