Jarrow NE32 3JY - 264329

Overview

We are proposing to move the above Post Office branch to a new location - Jarrow Convenience Store (formerly Simms News), 75 Ellison Street, Jarrow, NE32 3JU, where it would continue to operate as one of our mains style branches, subject to consultation.

Why are we proposing this move?

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 are pleased to inform you that a new operator has been appointed who has identified an alternative location to operate Jarrow Post Office. Our priority is to safeguard our services in the locality in the longer term and the relocation of Jarrow Post Office would enable us to maintain a Post Office service to our customers in the local community.

The proposed new premises would undergo a refurbishment to incorporate Jarrow Post Office. The new operator firmly believes that the move would help to secure continued access to Post Office services locally, as well as supporting the viability of their business.
