Following the local public consultation, the letter below confirms our final plans for the branch.

Overview

We are moving the above Post Office branch to a new location: 240 Hoe Street, Walthamstow, E17 3AX, where it will continue to operate as one of our main style branches. The new premises, which is currently empty, will undergo a refurbishment to incorporate Walthamstow Post office and a convenience store.

Why are we moving?

The postmaster’s lease at the current premises is due to expire and as the premises will no longer be available for Post Office use, we have had to identify an alternative location to continue to offer Post Office services. Subsequently, in order to secure a more sustainable service to our customers in the area, the postmaster has identified an opportunity to move this branch into the property next door to the current location.

The current Post Office branch is scheduled to close on Sunday 11 June 2023 at 15:30 and this Post Office service is scheduled to open at the new premises on Thursday 22 June 2023 at 13:00. If there are any unforeseen schedule changes which mean these dates change, posters will be displayed to let customers know. 

During the transfer 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:

  • Forest Road Post Office, 532-536 Forest Road, Walthamstow, E17 4NB
  • High Street Post Office, 48 High Street, Walthamstow, E17 7LD

 

 

Why your views matter

Whilst the decision has already been made to relocate Walthamstow Post Office service, we would still like your views on access and the service offered at the new location. 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 into the new location (Question 5)
  • Inside the new location (Question 6)
  • Other feedback (Questions 7 - 9)

What happens next

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