A PLANNED Post Office refurbishment has been delayed by three weeks.

The work to the Bournville Post Office was due to start on July 11, but has been postponed until August 1, re-opening at 1pm on August 6.

The delay is due to the subpostmaster taking on an adjacent unit and a hold-up in getting the lease and builders in place to extend it.

When it is opened, the Post Office will have extended opening hours and a more modern environment.
