CROSSFORD'S Post Office has reopened today (Friday) after changing to a 'local' style open-plan branch.

A new subpostmaster has modernised the branch which will now offer Post Office services alongside retail transactions during shop opening hours.

The pharmacy has undergone a complete refurbishment which the Post Office believe will provide an enhanced environment for customers.

Sue Richardson, Post Office regional manager for Scotland and North England, said, "We understand how important having a Post Office is to residents in Crossford and we are confident that the Post Office local service will meet the needs of the community and secure services for the future."
