Clwyd West AM Darren Millar has welcomed news that Pensarn Post Office is to benefit from modernisation and investment.
Post Office Limited have announced that the Post Office is to be transformed into one its new main style branches, creating a more modern and convenient retail experience for customers that will include longer opening hours.
Darren said:
“This is great news for the people of Pensarn. The Post Office is at the heart of so many communities, providing vital services to residents and businesses, but unfortunately in recent years we have witnessed many communities losing these assets. It is therefore always great to see investment in Post Office services and I am sure that customers old and new in Pensarn will welcome the new look facility and longer opening hours.
“Post Office Limited have informed me that the plans are now finalised and the new-look Post Office is scheduled to open at the current location on Friday 15 January 2016 at 1pm.”
The branch will need to close for refurbishment on Tuesday 29 December 2015 at 17:30. Should these dates change, posters will be displayed in branch to let customers know.
When the new branch opens, customers will benefit from a newly modernised Post Office service and longer opening hours:
Monday – Saturday 09:00 – 23:00 and Sunday 12:00 – 23:00.
Darren added: “The Pensarn branch has been selected as part of the major programme of modernisation and investment taking place across the Post Office network, the largest in the history of Post Office Ltd, which will see up to 8,000 branches modernised and additional investment in over 3,000 community and outreach branches.
“The programme is underpinned by UK Government investment, with their commitment of £1.34bn in 2010 to maintain and modernise the Post Office network and their announcement in November 2013 of a further £640m investment in the Post Office network until 2018.”
