THERE are plans to relocate St Davids Post Office a short distance away.

The Post Office is proposing to move the branch on 13-15 New Street to CK’s supermarket at 52 New Street.

It is hoped the move will create a modern open-plan local style branch with extended opening hours for customers.

Post Office is inviting customers and interested parties to give their comments on the move in a six week public consultation. The new service is proposed to open in July 2014, subject to a successful consultation.

Post Office regional network manager for Wales, Adrian Wales, said: “We understand how important having a Post Office is to residents in St Davids and we are confident that this new modern branch will make it easier for our customers to do business with us and also secure services for the future.

He added: “This modernisation is part of a major investment programme to 2018, the largest in the history of the Post Office, that will see over 8000 branches (about two thirds of the Post Office network) converting to new-style branches. This investment makes a commitment to no more branch closure programmes.”
