Overview

We are proposing to re-open the above Post Office branch at a new location – Best One, 59 Jeanfield Road, Perth, PH1 1NZ and change it to one of our new local style branches. The new branch will also be known as Jeanfield Road Post Office. The previous branch closed temporarily in March 2018 following the withdrawal of premises for Post Office use.  We are now in a position to restore a service to our customers in the local community and the establishment of a new local style branch presents the best possible solution in the area. 

Why are we moving?

We’re proposing this move as part of the ongoing modernisation of our branch network. Over the last five years we have transformed over 7,500 branches so more customers can access Post Office products and services in a modern and friendly environment, often over longer hours including Sundays. We are confident that introducing a local style branch alongside a successful retail store is the most effective way to safeguard sustainable Post Office services in the local community into the future.

Your new Post Office branch

Customers would access Post Office services at a low-screened, open-plan, modern serving point that’s part of the retail counter. Working with the operator, we’d adapt the current store layout, fixtures and fittings to accommodate the Post Office till if needed. The branch will offer a wide range of Post Office products and services over longer opening hours, so customers can access their Post Office when it’s convenient. Customer satisfaction with local style branches stands at 96 per cent, and nearly 20 per cent of local branch customers visit outside traditional opening hours.

Why your views matter

We’re carrying out a local public consultation and we’d welcome your views on the proposal. We welcome feedback and comments that can help inform our plans.
