A close-knit Derry community which fought to replace its post office after its closure earlier this year has welcomed the news that one will open next month.
It comes after a much-loved shop in Derry announced it was to close permanently in March after more than 30 years of trading in the Culmore area, despite the local community's best efforts the post office, which was situated within the premises, officially closed on March 1.
The new office will open on Friday, September 16 from 1pm at a local Spar store on Ballynagard Road. Local MLA Mark H Durkan previously said it was "unthinkable" that Culmore would be left without a post office.
