Nuneaton’s new Royal Mail delivery office should be ready to open by the start of next year. It is being built on a two-acre brownfield site which was formerly part of the Stanley Brick Works in Bermuda.
Once complete, at the start of 2024, it will see the town’s main sorting office and delivery office move from its current base in Church Street. As we reported in our newsletter, it is one of several businesses being moved in the area because the land they sit on forms part of the ‘Justice Walk’ regeneration project which includes a £20m learning and living zone which will boast a new library, offices and up to 65 homes planned for the Church Street and Vicarage Street area.
The new delivery office will boast an extensive yard and car-parking, with 60 spaces for staff and customers, including two electric vehicle charging bays.
A total of 53 commercial vehicle spaces, including 28 electric vehicle charging points, will be used by Royal Mail’s new fleet of electric vehicles.
It is being developed and built by Midlands-based Deeley Group which has been involved in the regeneration of the Bermuda Park and surrounding areas for more than 40 years. Andrew Brazier, Development Consultant to the Deeley Group, said: “This signals a continuation of the Deeley Group’s more than four-decade long commitment to development at Bermuda Park and its surrounding areas.
“This is a great example of how a brownfield site can be transformed to be home to a facility which will provide an essential service for people in the local community. The completed development will also be a fantastic addition to Deeley Group’s investment portfolio.
“The development will be completed to a high sustainability standard, supporting Deeley Group’s aim of being fully net zero carbon by 2036,” he added. “The provision of a significant number of charging points for electric vehicles will also support Royal Mail’s target to be net zero by 2040.
“We look forward to delivering another important community facility in Nuneaton.”
Kate Ellis, Midlands Regional Operations Director for Royal Mail, added: “We are looking forward to the new facility being completed and it is good to see a brownfield site being used in this way. The new office will support 117 staff and provide a more efficient and sustainable facility for Royal Mail.”
