A NEW Post Office is to open in Winnersh, restoring services to the parish.
It will be located in Winnersh Convenience Store, in Sherwood Road, and opens from 1pm on Wednesday, May 18.
Its general hours will be 8am to 6pm six days a week, and the counter will be situated next to the retail counter of the store.
The Post Office has a wide door and a step at the entrance. Users with accessibility needs will be able to use a portable ramp.
Internally, there will be a hearing loop and space for a wheelchair.
The previous branch on Reading Road closed after the postmaster resigned, and a temporary mobile Post Office, visiting on Mondays and Thursdays, will close following its visit on Monday, May 16.
The national Post Office said that it has been keen to restore services, so is going ahead with the plan despite a consultation currently in place.
This will close on May 4. Customers can share their views at postofficeviews.co.uk with the branch code 258939.
Submissions can also be made via email to comments@postoffice.co.uk, by post to Freepost YOUR COMMENTS, or by calling: 03452 66 01 15 or Textphone 03457 22 33 55.
