Overview

We are delighted to let you know that following the temporary closure of Bracklesham Bay Post Office we will be re-opening the branch on 11 September 2019 at 09:00. This will be in a new location – Central Stores, Bracklesham Lane, Bracklesham Bay, PO20 8JA. 

Your new Post Office branch

Customers would access Post Office services at a low-screened, open-plan, modern serving point that’s part of the retail counter. Working with the postmaster, we’d adapt the current store layout, fixtures and fittings to accommodate the Post Office till if needed. The branch will offer a wide range of Post Office products and services over longer opening hours, so customers can access their Post Office when it’s convenient. Customer satisfaction with local style branches stands at 96 per cent, and nearly 20 per cent of local branch customers visit outside traditional opening hours.

The Post office are running an online survey which is available at https://www.postofficeviews.co.uk/national-consultation-team/bracklesham-bay-po20-8hp-184937/
