SOUTH Petherton Post Office reopened on Friday (March 24) at a new location.

This has restored Post Office services to the area, which will now be operated from 26 St James Street.

The previous branch at St James Street, South Petherton closed in September 2022 due to the resignation of the Postmaster.

South Petherton is a new-style local Post Office with a Post Office counter alongside the retail counter of the convenience store.

Graham Brander, Post Office Network Provision lead, said: “We are delighted to have restored a Post Office to this area as we know how important a Post Office is to a community.

“We were keen to restore this branch to the area as soon as possible, so we decided to go ahead with our plans. “Similar products and services are available as before, however, excluding Euros and Dollars Travel Money on demand. Currencies can be pre-ordered.”

The opportunity to give feedback will close on 21 April. Customers can share their views during the consultation online at postofficeviews.co.uk with the branch code 347549.

Submissions can also be made via email to comments@postoffice.co.uk, by post to Freepost YOUR COMMENTS, or by telephone 03452 66 01 15 or Textphone 03457 22 33 55.
