Paulton residents have been celebrating that as of 23rd October, the Post Office service will be re-opened in the village at Paulton News.

A consultation, which runs until 13th October, is now asking for views on the new location – with a leaflet available from Paulton News which carries more information. Residents are asked to get in touch before the consultation closes if they want to make their opinions known. The same range of services are proposed to continue, excluding Euro Travel Money.

Those with businesses in the High Street will be relieved at the announcement, with some reporting that the closure of the Post Office had had a dramatic impact upon their trade.
