BOSCASTLE Post Office is set to re-open after it was temporarily closed in June last year.

The new facility will re-open at Boscastle Spar in Penally Hill, and the Post Office has said it will be ‘a modern open-plan local-style branch with extended opening hours’.

Post Office local is a new concept for delivering Post Office services and the proposed Boscastle branch would offer Post Office products and services from a low-screened, open plan service point integrated into the retail counter.

Services would be available throughout the supermarket’s opening hours — Monday to Sunday 8am to 8pm, offering 84 hours of service a week.

Boscastle Post Office closed temporarily in June 2015, due to the resignation of the postmaster and the withdrawal of the premises at Cornish Stores for Post Office use.

A Post Office spokesman said: “We are now able to restore the service. A new operator has been appointed, providing us with the opportunity to incorporate Post Office services into their existing Spar Convenience store approximately 75 metres from the previously branch.”
