Following the closure of Keresley End Post Office, Craig has been liaising with the Post Office along with local Cllr Damon Brown to find a more permanent solution.
They wrote to Craig at the end of last week to say
“We are committed to seeking to restore a Post Office to mitigate the impact of the closure and we have been inviting applications for a new postmaster to apply and run a branch in the area. A new branch would be in addition to the new Drop & Collect service provided from the One Stop store at Keresley End.”
Craig was pleased to say that they have now found an alternative operator in Mahendran Sutharsan at the existing Keresley Convenience Store on Rathbone Road.
Mahendran is now going through final checks and subject to that, will add the services to the store in the months ahead. Cllr Brown and Craig called in to speak to him today to discuss his exciting plans for the store and bringing back these important Postal services back to Kerseley
