Islington N1 1US - 031004

Overview

Our retail partner, Universal Office Equipment UK LTD (UOE), has found a nearby alternative premises from which to operate Islington Post Office branch and we are proposing to relocate the branch to 129E Upper St, London N1 1QP, which is currently the Give Your Best charity store. The majority of services for customers would remain the same, and opening hours would be increased to include Sundays. If the move goes ahead, the proposed new premises will undergo a full refurbishment to incorporate a stationery shop alongside Islington Post Office, and the store would be known as “Stamp”.

Why are we proposing this move?

As you may be aware, our retail partner operates Post Office branches alongside their private retail business, and it is important that they make the very best use of their resources to ensure future sustainability of both their business and the Post Office service. In this case, our partner has identified an opportunity to move this branch into modern premises whilst continuing to offer Post Office services to the local area. Our priority is to safeguard our services and we are confident that the proposed move of Islington Post Office branch will deliver longer-term service provision to the local community.
