Post office reopens

STAPLETON'S post office, which closed in the new year, is set to reopen this month.

The Beech Hill branch closed when the shop where it had its counter, McColls in Frome Valley Road, Begbrook, was closed by owner Morrisons. However the shop is reopening under new ownership on June 20, and Post Office Ltd says counter services will be provided from 7am-10pm, seven days a week.

Scott Lacey, Post Office Network Provision Lead, said: “We are delighted to soon be restoring Post Office services to the Beech Hill area of Fishponds as we know how important a Post Office is to a community.

"This will provide 105 hours of Post Office service a week for the convenience of customers.

"Similar services will continue to be available, however excluding vehicle tax."
