Further to the update we received from Post Office Customer Care, we have now received a further update with regards to the rumours that the Anstey Post Office is closing in April 2022.
They advise the following:
- They are unable to confirm when the branch will close.
- However, they can confirm that they are already advertising for a new Sub Post-Master.
- Here is the link to the current advertisement that they have posted online
- If they receive sufficient interest before July, they will close the advert and assign a new Sub-Postmaster to the branch.
- They can only assure that if a branch closes in our area, they will do all they can to reopen it ASAP and/or relocate it.
- Anstey Post Office is currently operated on a temporary basis, which means that the service can be withdrawn at short notice from its current premises.
- They further advise "We are working hard to secure the future of Anstey Post Office, and we are advertising the opportunity on our website for a permanent branch. I can assure you that we’re committed to maintaining Post Office services in Anstey and we will update our customers and local stakeholders once we have a confirmed proposal for the service."
Hopefully the above information that has been provided to us by Post Office Counters Head Office, will clarify the news that has been circulating and that they will be in a position to fill the role of Sub Post-master before the closing date of 22nd July 2022.
As soon as we have any further information we will update our website, Facebook and Twitter.
