Post Office reopening hit by delay

10:30am Wednesday 13th March 2013 in News

GRAYS Post Office is still not open – despite the reopening being scheduled for this week.

The post office, which was in the WH Smith store in Grays Shopping Centre, closed on March 2 and a bus service was set up to take customers to the South Ockendon branch.

Customers had been assured this was a temporary move and it would reopen on Monday, but the store remains closed.

A Post Office spokeswoman said: “We have a temporary solution organised, but are waiting for the handover of the premises.

“Meanwhile we are continuing to operate a shuttle bus to take customers to South Ockendon.

“The service will start at 9am and will run on the hour and on the half hour, with the last pick-up at 4pm.

“We apologise for inconvenience caused and would like to reassure customers we are committed to maintaining services to people in the Grays area.”
