Walsall WS1 1NW - 283242

Overview

We are proposing to move the above Post Office branch to a new location: Unit 1, The Bridge, Walsall, WS1 1LG, where it would operate as one of our main style branches. The proposed premises, which is currently empty, would undergo a refurbishment to incorporate Walsall Post Office, subject to consultation.

Why are we proposing this move?

As you will be aware, our postmasters 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 the service. Unfortunately, the postmaster’s lease for the current premises is due to expire in the near future. Subsequently, the postmaster has identified an opportunity to move this branch into a property nearby. Our priority is to safeguard our services in the locality in the longer term and the relocation of Walsall Post Office would enable us to maintain a Post Office service to our customers in the local community.

Why your views matter

We’re carrying out a local public consultation and we’d like your views on the proposal. We welcome feedback and comments that can help inform our plans. In this survey we will be asking specific questions related to the following areas:

• Getting to the proposed location (Question 4)
• Getting into the proposed location (Question 5)
• Inside the proposed location (Question 6)
• Other feedback on our proposal (Questions 7 - 9)

What happens next

Thank you for considering our proposal. We will take into account any information and feedback we receive as we finalise our plans for the new branch.
