Overview

The lease of the premises at Kingsmill Road Post Office is due to expire and the premises will no longer be available for Post Office use and the branch is due to close on Saturday 23 November 2024 at 17:30.

We are therefore proposing to move the branch to a new location: 6 Prince Charles Road, Wrexham, LL13 8YD, where it would merge with the Bryn Hafod Post Office branch and would be known as Prince Charles Road Post Office. The new combined branch would be operated by the existing postmaster at Kingsmill Road as one of our main style branches, subject to consultation.

Why are we moving?

The postmaster at Bryn Hafod Post Office has resigned from operating the branch and the branch is due to close on Monday 18 November 2024 at 17:00. Should the relocation of Kingsmills Road Post Office proceed this will restore Post Office services to the community of Bryn Hafod.

In addition, the outreach services run by the Bryn Hafod branch postmaster at: Marchwiel, Bangor Is Y Coed, Rossett, Penley, Higher Kinnerton and Cockshutt will also need to close the week commencing Monday 11 November 2024.  At this time, there are no plans to replace these outreach services and we apologise for the inconvenience the closure of these outreach services may cause.
