NELSON Post Office could be moved to a new site in the town centre in a bid to safeguard its long-term future.
Post Office Ltd is consulting on a proposal by a newly-appointed subpostmaster to run the facility from premises in Pendle Rise Shopping Centre, around 300 yards from the branch’s current site in the Victory Centre.
Field change adviser Andy Wright said the new branch would have a purpose-built serving counter and level access to help customers with mobility difficulties.
She added: “This relocation would help to safeguard our presence in the community in the longer term, as well as providing a number of customer benefits.”
A final decision will be announced after the consultation ends on April 22.
