Newtown SY16 1AB - 193644

Overview

We are proposing to move the above Post Office branch to a new location: 6 Market Street, Newtown, SY16 2PQ. (Formerly Peter Jacks Family Butchers)

Why are we moving?

As you will be aware, our partners and agents operate Post Office branches alongside their private retail business, and it is important that they make the very best use of their resources to ensure future sustainability of the service. In this case, the lease for the current premises is due to expire in March 2025. Subsequently, in order to secure a more sustainable service to our customers in community, the postmaster has identified an opportunity to move this branch to his other premises nearby.

The proposed premises is currently empty and would undergo a refurbishment to incorporate a convenience store and Newtown Post Office.

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