Sheerwater GU21 5PE - 261501

Overview

We are proposing to move the above Post Office branch to a new location – 1-2 Parfitt Way, Sheerwater, Woking, GU21 5GP, where it would continue to operate as one of our local style branches.

Why are we proposing this move?

As you may be aware, our Partners 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 Sheerwater Post Office into an alternative location to continue to offer Post Office services to the local community. The proposed newly built premises, which are currently empty, would undergo a refurbishment to incorporate Sheerwater Post Office and a Londis convenience store.

Our priority is to safeguard Post Office services to the local community in the longer term and 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.
