A Post Office branch is to reopen after being closed for three months.

The outlet on Bolton Road in Atherton is set to welcome customers again after closing on January 25 this year.

It closed due to the resignation of the postmaster, but will reopen under new management on April 4.

It will open in the same location where it had previously been and will offer the same range services as previously.

The store will be open Monday to Saturday from 7am to 9pm and on Sundays from 9am to 8pm.

Post Office network provision lead, Dave Hunt, said: “We are delighted to be restoring Post Office services to Bolton Road in Atherton as we know how important a Post Office is to a community.”
