Subject to consultation, the new branch will have four serving positions in total and offer the same services as now.

It is proposed the branch would move in October 2017.

Roger Gale, Post Office sales and trade marketing director, said that the change would help to ensure the branch is commercially viable into the future and therefore protect Post Office services.

A six week consultation into the proposals opened in May and is due to close on Tuesday, June 27.
