Overview

We are moving the above Post Office branch to a new location: Kaleidoscope, 5 Fore Street, Kingskerswell, TQ12 5HT, where it will be known as Kingskerswell Post Office and operate as a Partner service model.

Why are we moving?

Due to the current postmaster’s wish to leave the business, we have been looking for a sustainable solution for customers served at Lowes Bridge branch. As part of the move of Lowes Bridge Post Office, we have taken the opportunity to review Post Office services in the local area and we have had to identify an alternative location to continue to offer Post Office services locally. This branch relocation and appointment of a new postmaster will also enable us to restore Post Office services to the Kingskerswell community.

Lowes Bridge Post Office is currently operating reduced opening hours and some customers have found it more convenient to use Shiphay Collaton Post Office due to its close proximity. We believe many customers will continue to use this branch after Lowes Bridge branch relocates to the Kingskerswell area.

Why your views matter

Whilst the decision has already been made to move Lowes Bridge Post Office, we would still like your views on access and the service offered at the new location. We welcome feedback and comments that can help inform our plans. In this survey we will be asking specific questions related to the following areas:

  • Getting into the new location (Question 5)
  • Inside the new location (Question 6)
  • Other feedback (Questions 7 - 9)

What happens next

We will take into account any information and feedback we receive as we finalise our plans for the new branch.
