Overview

We are moving the above Post Office branch to a new location: Today's Local, 35 Market Place, Howden, DN14 7BL, where it would continue to operate as one of our local style branches.

Why are we moving?

As you may be aware, this branch has been operated on our behalf by a temporary postmaster. Whilst this arrangement has enabled us to maintain access to Post Office services to our customers in the area, we have now identified an alternative location to continue to offer Post Office services to the local community.

We are pleased to inform you that a new agent has been appointed who has identified an alternative location to operate Howden Post Office from the above new location.

To maintain Post Office services in the local community, the current Post Office branch is scheduled to close on Thursday 28 July 2022 at 15:45 and this Post Office service is scheduled to open at the new premises on Friday 12 August 2022 at 13:00. If there are any unforeseen schedule changes which mean these dates change, posters will be displayed to let customers know. 

Our priority is to safeguard our services in the locality in the longer term and the relocation of Howden Post Office will enable us to maintain a Post Office service to our customers in the local community.
