Overview

We are proposing to move the above Post Office branch to a new location  5 The Arcade, Market Place East, Ripon, HG4 1NZ. The proposed premises, which are currently empty, will undergo a refurbishment to incorporate a convenience store and a Ripon Post Office.

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 both their business and the Post Office service. In this case, our partner has identified an opportunity to move this branch into a newly refurbished premises nearby.

Your new Post Office branch

Customers would access Post Office services in a modern, open-plan environment alongside the operator’s retail. Working with the postmaster, we’d adapt the current store layout, fixtures and fittings to accommodate the Post Office. It will be in a dedicated area of the store with one screened and two open-plan positions. The full range of Post Office products and services would be available over longer opening hours. Customer satisfaction with these style of branches stands at 95 per cent.
