SALISBURY Post Office is due to open its new home in Winchester Street next week.

The branch, which is currently in Castle Street, will be run at Occasions Thorntons from next Thursday (March 10).

The Castle Street branch, where it is currently located, will close on Tuesday (March 8) at 5.30pm.

While the change-over takes place customers can use the High Street and Churchill Way West Post Offices.

The new branch in Winchester Street will have five modern serving positions – two open-plan counters, two screened and an open-plan post office service point next to the retail till.

There will be ten hours service for customers.

After the move, the Post Office services will be open Monday to Friday: 8.30am – 5.30pm; Saturday: 9am – 5.30pm; Sunday: 10.30am – 4.30pm.

The extra opening hours include Sundays and earlier mid-week opening times as well as longer Saturday hours.
