Post Office willopen for longerfollowing move

Longer opening hours and Sunday opening have been promised in proposals to relocate Robertsbridge Post Office from the High Street to Station Road.

The Post Office is currently in the consulting phase of proposals which will see the branch move into Robertsbridge Village Stores.

They say opening hours will be extended by 61 hours a week in a modern open-plan retail environment. And they have promised access to Post Office services seven days a week.

Post Office Local is a new concept for delivering Post Office products and services from an open plan till at the shop counter instead of from a separate screened counter. This would be available during shop opening hours Monday to Saturday: 7am – 9pm; Sunday: 7am – 7pm.

This offers customers an extra 61 hours of Post Office services every week, including all day Sunday and Saturday afternoon.
