We are delighted to be able to restore Post Office service to Staveley, Glasshouses, Masham, Hampsthwaite and Lofthouse. Since the closure of these branches we have continued to work to identify a solution to restore services to these local communities. We are therefore introducing a Mobile service, which is a tried and tested way of maintaining service to smaller communities.
Post Office are keen to restore services to these communities as soon as possible, so we have decided to go ahead with our plans. However, The Post Office is now inviting customers and interested parties to give their comments on locations for the mobile stops, days and opening hours before arrangements are finalised.
Consultation will close on 25 March 2020. Customers can share their views during the consultation online at postofficeviews.co.uk with the branch code 382323.
