Post Office Closure consultation

Kelsall Post Office Info

The Post Office have informed us of the coming closure of the Kelsall branch:

" We are writing to inform you that, regrettably, our retail partner, The Co-operative Group, who operate Kelsall Post Office branch on our behalf, have advised that due to the challenges of the current economic climate, they have made the difficult decision to resign from operating Kelsall Post Office. This branch will, therefore, be closing on Thursday 04 September 2025 at 17:30.


To help mitigate the loss of some vital Post Office services, we are pleased to advise that The Co- operative Group, have agreed to operate a Post Office Drop & Collect, which is a lighter branch format, from Friday 05 September 2025 at 13:00, where it will be known as Kelsall Drop & Collect."

See the attached file for full information. The communication also specified:

"we will also advertise for a suitable, full-service replacement branch for Kelsall Post Office to serve the local community. Details of possible alternative Post Office branches offering a wider range of services in the area are shown at the end of this letter. The latest available branch information can be found on our website, www.postoffice.co.uk/branch-finder.


We understand that the provision of a full-service Post Office branch is important for the local community and we are committed to seeking to restore a Local Post Office branch to mitigate the impact of the closure of this branch. However, it is important that any future service is sustainable for the Postmaster operating the service, and for Post Office Limited. We would welcome any applications from potential retail partners interested in running a branch locally on our behalf."
