The opening hours will be from 7am until 9pm from Monday to Saturday and from 8am to 8pm on Sundays. This will offer 96 hours of Post Office service a week – a Post Office counter will be alongside the retail counter of the convenience store. Richard Clark, Post Office Network Provision Lead, said: “We are delighted to soon be restoring Post Office services to Rise Park as we know how important a Post Office is to a community.
