Wells BA5 2DP - 016504

Overview

We are delighted to let you know that following the temporary closure of Wells Post Office we will be re-opening the branch on Thursday 26 January 2023. 

This will be in a new location at Spar Wells, 19 - 21 Tucker Street, Wells, BA5 2DZ, where it will operate as one of our main style branches.

You may be aware, following the resignation of the postmaster and the withdrawal of the premises for Post Office use, the above branch closed temporarily in July 2022.

In the interim, to serve the local community with continued access to Post Office services we set up a temporary Post Office service, in July 2022, which is operating from Wells Bus Station, Princes Road, Wells, BA5 1TE. This service will cease from Wednesday 25 January 2023 at 17:00.

 Your new Post Office branch

Customers would access Post Office services in a modern, open-plan environment. There will be three serving positions, one screened, one open plan and a Post Office serving point at the retail counter. Working with the postmaster, we’d adapt the current store layout, fixtures and fittings to accommodate the Post Office till if needed.

Why your views matter

Whilst the decision has already been made to re-open this branch, we would still like your views on access at the new location. We welcome feedback that can help inform our plans and the questionnaire below asks for comments on the following areas:

• Access into the new premises (Question 4)
• Access inside the new premises (Question 5)
• Any further feedback on our plans (Question 6)

What happens next

Thank you for your support in restoring the Post Office service in Wells.
