• Opening at CK Foodstores, Gwscwm Road, Burry Port, SA16 0BT

• To restore service

Burry Port Post Office is to re-open this month at a new location – CK Foodstores, Gwscwm Road, Burry Port, SA16 0BT, which is a convenience store.

This will restore service to the community after previous postmaster resigned. The premises at 34 Station Road, Burry Port, SA16 0LP, were withdrawn for Post Office use in May.

We are keen to restore services to this community as soon as possible, so we have decided to go ahead with our plans.  Burry Port Post Office is due to re-open at its new location on Monday 9 September at 1pm.

From 9 – 23 September the short-term opening hours will be Monday, Wednesday and Friday: 9am – 3pm.

After that the new opening hours for Bute Docks Post will be Monday to Friday: 8.30am – 1pm & 1.30 – 5.30pm; Saturday: 8.30am – 12.30pm.

This will provide 46 hours and 30 minutes of service a week for the convenience of customers.

The opportunity to give feedback on access into within the premises will close on 1 October. Customers can share their views during the consultation online at postofficeviews.co.uk with the branch code 343642.

Submissions can also be made via email to comments@postoffice.co.uk, by post to Freepost YOUR COMMENTS, or by telephone 03452 66 01 15 or Textphone 03457 22 33 55.
