Overview
We are moving the above Post Office branch to a new location: Premier - Horsley Hill Convenience Store, 22 Horsley Hill Square, South Shields, NE34 7HQ, where it will continue to operate as one of our main style branches.
Why are we moving?
Unfortunately, the Postmaster’s lease for the current premises is due to expire in the near future. Subsequently, in order to secure a more sustainable service to our customers in Horsley Hill, the Postmaster has identified an opportunity to relocate the Post Office to a new premises nearby.
Customers would continue to access Post Office services from a larger, spacious, brighter and modern premises. Our 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 Monday 22 November 2021 at 17:00. To restore Post Office services to the local community, your new modern Post Office is scheduled to open at the new premises on Saturday 27 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:
- Cleadon Park Post Office, 254B Sunderland Road, South Shields, NE34 6QY
- Green Street Post Office, 3 Fredrick Street, South Shields, NE33 5DY
