Post Office bosses have apologised for the inconvenience caused to Brampton residents after plans were announced to close their branch on Knollbeck Lane.
Almost 450 people have signed a petition calling on the Post Office to ‘think again’ about the plans, raising concerns about vulnerable and disabled residents’ access to services. The petition author branded the closure an ‘absolute nightmare they don’t need’. John Healey, MP for Rawmarsh and Conisbrough, has written to Nick Read, the Post Office’s chief executive, urging him to secure a new location within Brampton.
“I know this has caused a lot of concern and worry in the community as it understandably leads to fears for the possible loss of Post Office services in Brampton. “I’m determined to work with the Post Office to support any efforts to secure a new base in Brampton, especially for all those in our community who rely on and need these services.” A Post Office spokesperson says the branch is closing temporarily, due to the postmaster’s resignation.
