Overview

We are moving the above Post Office branch to a new location - Premier - Seaside Newsmart, 204-206 Seaside, Eastbourne, BN22 7QT.  

Why are we moving?

As you may be aware, this branch has been operated on our behalf by a temporary Postmaster. This arrangement has enabled us to maintain access to Post Office services to our customers in the area whilst we look for a more permanent solution to offer Post Office services to the local community.

We are therefore, pleased to inform you that a new agent has been appointed to operate the above Post Office from Premier - Seaside Newsmart, where it will operate as one of our local style branches. 

Your new Post Office branch

Customers will access Post Office services in a newly refurbished modern, open-plan environment alongside the operator’s retail. It will be in a dedicated area of the store with two low-screened, open-plan, modern serving points. The Post Office will offer a range of products and services over longer opening hours so customers can access their branch when it’s convenient. Customer satisfaction with these style of branches stands at 95 per cent.
