Local residents are being asked to have their say about plans to move Ely Post Office - which opened on Market Street in 2014 - to an empty building that would be refurbished with a stationary, gift, mobile accessories and repair store.
The Post Office is asking customers to give their comments on the move to 7 St Mary’s Street in a public consultation and say they are looking for feedback about “accessibility, local community issues and anything that we can do to make life easier for our customers”.
A Post Office spokesman said: “Currently, Ely Post Office, at Central Hall, 52-54 Market Street, is operated by a temporary postmaster and we have been looking for a permanent solution.
“A new postmaster has now been appointed and they intend to relocate this branch to a newly refurbished retail premises nearby.
“There would be a dedicated area of the store with two screened positions, offering the full range of Post Office products and services. “There would also be a low-screened, modern till at the retail counter.”
The opening hours would be Monday to Saturday 9am to 5.30pm.
