Barlestone’s village Post Office, which closed in September 2011 due to the retirement of Post Mistress Heather Ball is to re-open on a 6 month trial basis inside the village Co-Op.
The installation of Post Office services at the Co-Op will be assessed once in place with a view to continuing the service only if the demand for it proves to exist. This means that the village Post Office service will be on a ‘use it or lose it’ basis.
Full details of services to be available from the Co-Op (including bank deposits / withdrawals and specialist services previously offered by the Post Office are yet to be confirmed.
