Overview

We are proposing to move the above Post Office branch to a new location – Premier, 54 Sinclair Street, Greenock, Renfrewshire, PA15 2EZ. Where it would continue to operate as one of our local style branches.

Why are we proposing this move?

As you may be aware, our postmasters operate 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. We are delighted to let you know that the current postmaster has identified an opportunity to move this branch into their other convenience store. The postmaster firmly believes that the move would help secure continued access to Post Office services locally, as well as supporting the viability of their business, subject to consultation.

Our priority is to safeguard Post Office services to the local community in the longer term. The relocation of James Watt Dock Post Office would enable us to maintain a Post Office service to our customers in the local community.
