Doncaster post office moving to new premises after postmaster resigned
The new site is just 30m away from the existing post office
Woodlands Post Office is set to move following the resignation of the postmaster - but it’s not going very far.
The new site is just 30m away from the existing post office at 296 Great North Road, Woodlands, DN6 7HN.
The post office will offer 96 hours of service per week, along with stationery and cards retail alongside
A spokesman said: “The current postmaster has resigned and the existing premises at 288 Great North Road would be withdrawn for Post Office use.
“A new operator has been appointed, who has identified this alternative location, only 30 metres away, to operate Woodlands Post Office, with stationery and cards retail alongside.
“The new operator 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. Our priority is to safeguard our services in the locality.
“Woodlands Post Office would be in a dedicated area of the store with two open-plan serving positions. A similar range of products and services would be available, and the opening hours would be unchanged.
“Currently, there is a step at the entrance to the proposed premises; however, works would be undertaken to create level access with a wide door at the entrance, ensuring improved accessibility for all customers.”
