A NEW Post Office is to be delivered to Crossgates very soon.

It has been confirmed that a new branch will be opening at 1pm on Thursday, November 12 at Crossgates Retail Ltd on Main Street.

Its introduction will mark the end of the mobile outreach service that is currently operating in the village, which will now cease on Tuesday, November 10.

Post Office announced this week that a consultation has now been launched for local customers to have their say.

A spokesperson said: "We will display posters in the new premises to tell customers the good news.

"We are keen to restore services to this community as soon as possible, so we have decided to go ahead with our plans.

"However, we would welcome suggestions about specific aspects of the change particularly on the following areas:

" Do you have any comments about access into the new premises?

" Do you have any comments about access inside the new premises?

"We will be accepting comments until November 26."
