369 Lordship Lane PO to close

[Bic Basher]

My mother had a chat with the sub-postmaster at 369 LL that the post office will have to close when the other retail tenants leave in the next few weeks.

He is attempting to find another site for the PO nearby, however this is a massive blow for those customers who live at the other end of LL and will only put pressure on the main PO.

You've spelt riddance wrong.

I mentioned this on the new shop thread recently. Today the guy who's still there told me the PO will be there until the end of the year but not sure how that will work if they're refitting for new tenants for the main shop.

Set-up in the Plough pub ? which is almost adjacent? Adjust hours to pub times?

Roche's is still vacant across the road.

There's now a new man running the PO counter. He told me this afternoon that he's been put in on a temporary basis and doesn't know how long it'll stay open for.

Wonder if they could find room for it in the library? I suppose security is an issue with a PO though perhaps the police camping out there could help.

Apparently if you can't face the PO queues further down LL or in the village there's another off Casino Ave that's never busy.
