Simonside NE34 9AR - 432329

Overview

We are moving the above Post Office branch to a new location: 97-99 Wenlock Road, South Shields, NE34 9BD.

Why are we moving?

The Post Office premises are no longer available for Post Office use and closed on Wednesday 25 September 2019. We have therefore had to identify an alternative location to continue to offer Post Office services to the local community.

Our priority is to safeguard Post Office services to the local community in the longer. The relocation of Simonside Post Office will enable us to maintain a Post Office service to our customers in the local community. The new branch is scheduled to open at the new premises on Friday 22 November 2019.

During transfer of the branch customers requiring Post Office facilities may use any convenient Post Office service. Details of an alternative Post Office branch are provided below for your convenience:

• Edinburgh Road Post Office, 69-71 Edinburgh Road, Jarrow, NE32 4BB
• Biddick Hall Post Office, 39 Gaskell Avenue, South Shields, NE34 9TQ
