Lynton EX35 6BS - 531519

Overview

We are proposing to reopen the above Post Office branch at a new location: Costcutter, 15-16 Lee Road, Lynton, EX35 6HW, where it would operate as one of our local style branches, subject to consultation.

Why are we proposing this move?

As you may be aware, the previous postmaster resigned and the premises were withdrawn for Post Office use, therefore the branch closed in December 2023. We have therefore had to identify an alternative location to continue to offer Post Office services to the local community. We are pleased to inform you that a new agent has been appointed who has identified an alternative location to operate the Post Office service.

Our priority is to safeguard our services in the locality in the longer term and the proposed reopening of Lynton Post Office would enable us to reinstate a Post Office service to our customers in the local community.
