City centre post office re-opens

YORK street which lost its post office a year ago now has a new one in a nearby convenience store.




Walmgate Bar post office closed in November 2009 following the death of sub postmaster Brian Fletcher.



Nobody came forward to take on the premises as a post office, but a "post office local" opened today in the One Stop store, a few doors away from the previous premises.



The service is being offered during the same opening hours as the store, seven days a week, from 7am to 10pm.
