A TREND has been bucked in Mapplewell with the opening of a new post office.
The store’s new location is the Premier Store on Town Gate, not too far from the site of the previous branch on Spark Lane, and it is set to open Monday to Sunday 8am-10pm.
Coun Steve Hunt is happy to see the new store resume full-time, permanent service.
“When I put it out on social media last week there were lots of positive comments, it’s fantastic news. You often hear about Post Office closures more than openings.
“It’s great news for Mapplewell, and will help other local businesses increase their footfall. The staff are currently doing their training so are just on a nine to five schedule at the minute.
“From next week the extended hours will begin, which are very convenient too.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
