Mevagissey PL26 6SS - 501471

Overview

We are proposing to move the above Post Office service to a new location – Mevagissey News, 6 Market Square, Mevagissey, PL26 6UD.  We are pleased to tell you that, when the move goes ahead, it will change to one of our new local style branches.

As you may be aware the branch has been operated as a temporary outreach service since the branch closed following the resignation of the Postmaster early last year. Whilst the outreach service has allowed us to maintain a service locally we have been working on a more permanent solution and we are pleased to advise we have appointed a new operator who will restore Post Office services over seven days of the week with longer opening hours. The current service is closing on Thursday 7 December 2017 and to avoid a temporary break in service the branch will re-open at its new location on Friday 08 December 2017.

We’re also pleased to advise the new operator will be undertaking a refurbishment of their store, and will be investigating what can be done to improve access into the store including if it is possible to widen the door entrance. We will confirm what improvements have been made in our decision announcement.

This change is part of a major programme of modernisation taking place across the Post Office network, the largest in the history of Post Office Ltd.  The Programme is underpinned by Government investment and will see up to 8,000 branches modernised and additional investment in over 3,000 community and outreach branches. 

What will this mean for customers?

• Post Office services will be offered from a till on the retail counter in a modern open plan branch
• Longer opening hours
• The majority of Post Office products and services will still be available
