Sheffield City S1 2AX - 016340

Overview

Following the announcement that Wilko Limited went into administration and their subsequent decision to close their Sheffield City store on Sunday 8 October 2023, regrettably the Post Office branch within the store will need to close on Monday 2 October 2023.  Consequently, we are writing to let you know about proposed changes to service provision in your area and our plans not to replace Sheffield City Directly Managed branch. Instead, we plan to advertise the opportunity to operate one of our Local style branches in the area, to add to the provision provided by the other four Main branches available to customers.

We believe there is enough provision of Post Office services to meet the needs of customers who currently use the Sheffield City branch, without the need for a direct replacement of this branch. The existing provision, in addition to our plans to advertise the opportunity to operate one of our Local style branches in the area, will provide Sheffield City customers with the access to the Post Office products and services they require. Additionally, as part of our continual review of the network, we will monitor customer usage in the local area and look to provide additional services in future, if needed.
