Overview

We are restoring the Post Office service to the local community of Pentewan with the introduction of a new permanent Post Office Outreach service at The Ship Inn, 31 - 33 West End, Pentewan, PL26 6BX, which is due to commence during February 2022.

Why are we introducing an Outreach service?

The branch closed following the resignation of the postmaster and the withdrawal of the premises for Post Office use. Since the closure we have continued to work to identify a solution to restore a Post Office service and we are pleased to inform you that the postmaster from Holmbush Post Office is willing to extend his current Hosted Outreach service to also serve the local community of Pentewan.

Our priority is to safeguard Post Office services within the local community in the longer term. The introduction of Hosted Outreach service will enable us to maintain a Post Office service to our customers to the local community Pentewan.

 

To accommodate the new Hosted Outreach Post Office service in Pentewan, we will also be making some minor changes to the current opening hours of the Hosted Outreach Post Office service at Charlestown.

We constantly monitor the number of customers using Post Office services and we are confident that our planned changes will be welcomed by our customers in the local communities. 

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 planned days and opening hours.

What happens next

Thank you for your support in the restoration of the Post Office service in Pentewan.
