Consultation under way about moving Black Country Post Office branch
The Post Office is proposing to relocate a Black Country branch to a new location.
The area in which the current branch is located at, 6 Union Street, Tipton, is being redeveloped, prompting bosses to look at moving it to Unit 15, 12 Unity Walk.
A Post Office spokesman said: "We have been actively working in the local community to find an alternative way of providing Post Office services to our customers.
"The current postmaster has identified an opportunity to move this branch into an alternative nearby location. This move would enable us to maintain Post Office services to this area."
The spokesman added: "This proposed premises, which is currently empty, would undergo a full refurbishment to incorporate a cards and stationery store with Union Street Post Office. Works would be carried out to install a new wide door and refit a new shop front.
"There would be in a dedicated area of the store with two screened serving positions. The same range of products and services."
A consultation is now open with the opportunity to give feedback on the move and access into and within the store will close on January 26.
