Huddersfield HD1 1AA - 010320 & New Street HD1 2UD - 005320

Overview

We are proposing to merge Huddersfield Post Office and New Street Post Office into one modern new branch.  This would be within the vacant premises previously known as Big Outlet Store at 65-67 New Street, Huddersfield, HD1 2BQ, where it would be run by our new retail partner. The new branch would be called Huddersfield Post Office.

Why are we proposing this move?

The competitive landscape on the high street is changing and we must adapt and develop to meet the needs of our customers.  We are making sure we take the right action to sustain services for years to come.  The new location will place Post Office services at the heart of the community, in the centre of Huddersfield’s main shopping hub.  The proposed merger of these branches is part of our on-going plans to create a Post Office network that is modern and sustainable.

Subject to consultation, we propose to relocate Huddersfield branch into the proposed new franchise premises in November 2018, with New Street branch merging into the new franchise premises in January 2019.  Whilst we believe that the majority of customers will choose to access Post Office services at the proposed new location once the merger of the branches has been completed, there are also a further two Post Office branches within 1.6 miles.
