Post Office to close for fortnight

Welshpool Post Office is to close for two weeks from tomorrow (Thursday), and users are expected to go to Guilsfield to access services.

The fortnight closure is to renovate the facility on Broad Street with the Post Office saying “the safety of customers is of paramount importance to the Post Office”.

It is expected to close today at 5.30pm, and then reopen on June 10.

During this temporary closure, customers are being advised to access Post Office services from Guilsfield instead, three miles away.

Annete Thomas, Post Office Network Operations Area Manager, said: “We apologise for any inconvenience caused to our customers during the refurbishment. However, I am sure that the planned improvements to the service will, in time, compensate for any disruption caused in the short term.”
