GREENLANDS Post Office, Preston, will open up in new premises next Thursday (May 27).

The office will move from 186 Ribbleton Avenue to 217 - 219 Ribbleton Avenue.

Nick Moriarty, retail network manager for Post Office Counters, said: "We are pleased to have maintained the service to customers and a move to the newsagents means the post office will be situated in much better surroundings.

"Apart from a more attractive office, we will also be able to offer longer opening hours, three counter positions - one more than at present - and disabled access and car parking facilities."

The office will close its current premises on May 26 and re-open the next day at the new site with new subpostmaster, Nalinkumar Patel.
