Services of a village post office could be moved to a different location which would offer longer opening hours seven days a week.
Post Office has now launched a public consultation into the proposed relocation of its branch in Upwell, near Wisbech.
Under the proposals, the Upwell Post Office could be moved to more modern facility at the nearby G & B Superstore Ltd.
The Post Office says the move will provide:-
- A modern open-plan environment.
- An extra 70 hours of Post Office services per week.
- All day opening at weekends for customers.
