Newtownhamilton BT35 0PB - 125758

Overview

We are moving the above Post Office branch to a new location – 35 Dundalk Street, Newtownhamilton, Dundalk, Newry, BT35 0PB, where it will continue to operate as one of our local style branches, by the existing postmaster.

Why are we proposing this move?

As you may be aware, our postmasters 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 both their business and the Post Office service. In this case, the postmaster has identified an opportunity to move this branch into a brighter, more modern premises, located on the same road nearby.

The new premises, which are currently empty and would undergo a full refurbishment. The postmaster firmly believes that the move would help secure continued access to Post Office services locally, as well as supporting the viability of their business, by incorporating Newtownhamilton Post Office within a newly refurbished retail unit. 

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