Overview

We are moving the above Post Office branch to a new location - 10 Foremans Walk, Headcorn, Ashford, TN27 9NE

Why are we moving?

The lease on the current premises has expired and the postmaster has identified an opportunity to move this branch into alternative new premises to continue to offer Post Office services to the local community. 

The new premises, which is currently empty, will undergo a full refurbishment to incorporate Headcorn Post Office. Our priority is to safeguard Post Office services to the local community in the longer term and the postmaster firmly believes that the move will help secure continued access to Post Office services locally, as well as supporting the viability of their business.

The current Post Office is scheduled to close on Thursday 21 October 2021 at 15:00 and your new-look Post Office is scheduled to open at the new premises on Tuesday 2 November 2021 at 09:00. If there are any unforeseen circumstances which mean these dates change, posters will be displayed to let customers know. 

During transfer of the branch customers requiring Post Office facilities may use any convenient Post Office service. Details of two alternative Post Office branches are provided below for your convenience:

  • Sutton Valence Post Office, Haven Farm Shop, North Street, Sutton Valence, Maidstone, ME17 3HS
  • Smarden Post Office, Chessenden Lane, Smarden, Ashford, TN27 8NF
