Proposed move for Washington Post Office including new self service facilities
Plans have been revealed to move the Washington Galleries Post office.
The current branch has been located inside the Galleries shopping centre for over thirty years, but the Post Office has identified an opportunity to relocate to the former site of Betfred, which is also in the Galleries.
A Post Office spokesperson said: “Our postmasters operate Post Office branches alongside their own retail businesses, and it’s essential they use resources effectively to ensure long-term sustainability. In this instance, the postmaster has identified an opportunity to move their store and the Post Office branch to a nearby unit."
Under the proposal, the currently empty unit would be refurbished to include a main Post Office and stationery store.
The spokesperson added: “We’re currently exploring the potential introduction of two self-serve facilities including a parcel drop-off and a cash deposit enabled ATM that would allow customers to withdraw cash and deposit banknotes.”
