Tarbert Mobile Service PA29 6BE - 575458

Overview

We are really pleased to let you know that we will be restoring Post Office services to the community of Tayinloan with the introduction of a permanent Mobile service. The Mobile service is scheduled to commence on 26 September 2022.

Since the closure of the above service we have continued to work to identify a solution to restore Post Office services to the local community. The Mobile Service is a travelling Post Office aboard a specifically designed vehicle that brings Post Office services and retail products to communities without relying on fixed premises.  

We are keen to restore services to the community of Tayinloan as soon as possible, so we have decided to go ahead with our plans. However, we would welcome suggestions about specific aspects of the change particularly on the following areas:

• How suitable do you think the new location is and how easy is it to get there?
• Do you have any comments on the day and opening hours?

At the Post Office we are continually looking to refresh our network and ensure we meet our customer needs. I’m therefore pleased to inform you that the postmaster from Tarbert Post Office is willing to offer services at two new locations. Skipness Mobile Service will be operating from Ferry Terminal, Claonaig, Argyll and Bute, PA29 6YF and Kilmartin Mobile Service will be operating from Kilmartin Village, Kilmartin, Argyll and Bute, PA31 8RQ. Both new services will also commence on Monday 26 September 2022.

To accommodate the new Mobile services there will be some changes to the current hours at  Inveraray, also operated by the postmaster from Tarbert.

We constantly monitor the number of customers using Post Office services and we are confident that our proposed changes will be welcomed by our customers in the local communities. 

What happens next

Thank you for your support in restoring the Post Office service in Tayinloan and providing two new mobile services in Skipness  and Kilmartin.
