Wadebridge PL27 7AE - 018555

Overview

We are proposing to move the above Post Office branch to a new location: Spar, 61 Egloshayle Road, Wadebridge, PL27 6AE, where it would be known as Egloshayle Road Post Office and continue to operate as one of our local style branches.

Why are we proposing this move?

Our retail partner’s lease at the current premises is due to expire and as the premises will no longer be available for Post Office use, they have had to identify an alternative location to continue to offer Post Office services. Subsequently, to secure a more sustainable service for both our retail partner and customers in the area, our retail partner is looking at the opportunity to move Wadebridge Post Office branch into their other premises on Egloshayle Road, Wadebridge.

The current Post Office service is due to close on Tuesday 20 June 2023 at 17:30. Subject to local public consultation, we are working hard to restore Post Office services as quickly as possible to the local community. Following the closure of the branch, customers requiring Post Office facilities may use any convenient Post Office service. Details of two alternative Post Office branches are provided below for your convenience:

• Bodmin Post Office, 40 Fore Street, Bodmin, PL31 2HL
• St Mabyn Post Office, Wadebridge Road, St Mabyn, Bodmin, PL30 3BQ

Our retail partner firmly believes that the move would help to secure continued access to Post Office services locally, as well as supporting the viability of their business. Our priority is to safeguard our services in the locality in the longer term and the relocation of Wadebridge Post Office would enable us to maintain a Post Office service to our customers in the local area.
