Plymstock Post Office remains closed with no date set for re-opening after flood damage

The Plymstock Post Office has been closed for business after the branch was damaged in a recent flood.

The flooding occurred earlier in the month when 68 homes in the Plymstock area were left without power.

Many locals have been upset at the loss of a local institution and have asked for an opening date.
