Freshwater Post Office Closure And Reopening Date Revealed

Freshwater's Post Office is to close for longer than expected, while its Co-operative home is turned into a Tesco.

The Afton Road store will shut from 5pm on Saturday (5), as previously reported.

It's said the refit will take around seven weeks, meaning the Post Office will also close temporarily. A reopening date is scheduled for March 24.

It was originally thought it would be shut for around four weeks.

Damien Haydock, Post Office Partner Account Manager, said:

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused to our customers during the work.

"The safety of our customers is of paramount, therefore, to allow for the refurbishment work to take place, it will be necessary for the service to close temporarily.”

During the refit customers alternative Post Offices include:

  • Totland Bay Post Office, The Broadway Inn, Broadway, Totland Bay, PO39 0BL
  • Yarmouth Post Office, Quay Street, Yarmouth, PO41 0PD
  • Brighstone Post Office, Main Road, Brighstone, Newport, PO30 4AH
