Overview

We are proposing to move the above Post Office branch to a new location: Best One, 80 Boxley Road, Maidstone, Kent, ME14 2TW.

Why are we moving?

The current postmaster wishes to retire from operating Penenden Heath Post Office branch to look after and concentrate on their health. 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 with an alternative premises to operate the Post Office service. Our priority is to safeguard Post Office services to the local community in the longer term and the relocation of Penenden Heath Post Office will enable us to maintain a Post Office service in the local area.
