A NEW location for a village post office has been confirmed.

Cheddar Post Office, currently based in Bath Street, will move to Budgens in Roynon Way early next year.

As part of the move, its opening hours will be extended to 7am-10pm on Monday to Saturday and 10am-4pm on Sundays.

The Post Office’s regional network manager Will Russell said: “We know how important post office services are to residents in Cheddar and we are confident this vibrant modern post office at the heart of the community will be popular.

“The modernisation is part of a major Government investment programme enabling us to continue investing in the post office network and to map out a bold growth strategy to the end of the decade.”
