The Post Office in Locking Castle is set to be modernised and will be open for longer once the changes are made.

The post office – which is inside the Tesco Express store in Clover Court – will get two modern counters so it can provide car tax, travel money and banking services.

The post office will extend its opening by 38 hours a week and will be open from 8am-8pm every day.

Damien Mulholand, Post Office area manager, said: “We are confident that this vibrant new-style post office at the heart of the local community will meet customer needs.

“This modernisation is part of a major investment programme, the largest in the history of the Post Office and will secure services for the future.”
