A POST Office in Bridgwater will move to new premises across the road, it has been announced.

The store, at 27 Eastover, will move to a vacant shop at 12 Eastover – 35 metres from the original property – where it will be part of a stationery store.

“The postmaster firmly believes that the move would help to secure continued access to Post Office services locally, as well as supporting the viability of their business,” a Post Office spokesperson said of the move.

“Our priority is to safeguard our services in the locality in the longer term and the relocation of Bridgwater Post Office would enable us to maintain a Post Office service to our customers in the local community.”

Following a public consultation, the move has now been agreed.

“After careful consideration of the feedback received, we remain confident that the layout and location of the new branch will continue to meet customer needs and deliver an excellent service, while securing the long-term viability of Post Office services in the local community,” said Jason Collins, regional change manager for Post Office Ltd.

The new Post Office will open from 9am to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday, and from 9am to 12.30pm on Saturday, featuring three serving positions.
