Wester Hailes EH14 2SW - 018824

Overview

We are proposing to move Wester Hailes Post Office to the nearby Plaza News, Unit 23-26 Upper Ground Floor Level, Westside Plaza, Edinburgh, EH14 2SW, where it would be run by our new retail franchise partner. Services for customers would be unchanged, opening hours would be increased to include Saturday afternoons.

Why are we making this change? 

Post Office Limited recently announced it is moving to a fully franchised network, as part of our wider commitment to deliver a “New Deal for Postmasters”. Over 99% of the Post Office network is already successfully operated on a franchise basis by carefully selected retail partners. We are confident this would create a long-term, sustainable future for post offices in communities across the UK, including Wester Hailes.
