A Stapleford branch of the Post Office will not be returning to the town for the foreseeable future after the previous postmaster resigned. The facility on Derby Road first closed last July after the resignation, which also saw the postmaster withdrawing their premises for Post Office use.
Since that time, the company has been looking at options to restore a service to customers in the area. But despite receiving local interest from people willing to take it on, the Post Office has now confirmed it is "not currently able to progress" any options for a service restoration.
The news has been confirmed in a letter from Richard Clark, the Network Provision Lead for the Post Office, published on Wednesday (July 12). Mr Clark says: "The vacancy in Stapleford has been advertised on our website and a member of the field team has also personally visited the area.
