A POST office will be on the move next month - but not very far.
Proposals to move Birchwood Post Office, currently located at 11 Dewhurst Road in the shopping centre, 100 yards away, have been given the go-ahead by Post Office bosses.
The branch will close at its current location on July 25.
It will re-open at its new home at 3 Dewhurst Road, again in the shopping centre, at 9am on July 28.
A Post Office spokesman said: "Earlier this year, there was a possibility that this office would close on a temporary basis, so I'm sure our customers will be delighted that we can now ensure its longer-term viability."
Opening hours will be 9am to 5.30pm from Monday to Friday, and 9am to 3pm on Saturdays. The branch will continue to offer the same range of services, including free personal banking, benefit payments in cash and National Lottery products.
