Permanent post office to open doors on Monday in Haxby

Liberal Democrat councillors in Haxby have met with Postmaster Aran Singh to take a look inside the town’s new Post Office ahead of its official opening on Monday, March 30 at 1pm.

The opening comes after a temporary post office was set up at the Oaken Grove Community Centre after the Morrisons Daily branch, which housed the previous post office, closed last May following nationwide cuts by the supermarket.

Councillor Andrew Hollyer said: “It’s fantastic to see the new post office ready to open its doors on Monday. After months of hard work to secure this vital service, it’s great that residents will once again have a permanent facility on The Village. 

“We would also like to thank Oaken Grove Community Centre for hosting the temporary post office, the staff who kept services running during that time, and Haxby Town Council for helping to fund the temporary provision.”
