Overview

We are proposing to move the above Post Office branch to a new location – Spar, Beckett’s Loughbrickland, 9 Main Street, Loughbrickland, BT32 3NQ, where it would operate as one of our local style branches.

Why are we moving?

The current postmaster has resigned and the premises will no longer be available for Post Office use. I am pleased to confirm that a new agent has been identified and they intend to relocate this Post Office to their newly refurbished retail premises nearby, which would incorporate the Post Office, subject to consultation.

Our priority is to safeguard our services in the locality in the longer term and the relocation of Loughbrickland Post Office would enable us to maintain a Post Office service to our customers in the local community.
