Spennymoor Post Office relocates to Cheapside town centre

Spennymoor Post Office has relocated to Cheapside in the former Lloyds Bank building.

The move was made possible thanks to support from the All Together for Spennymoor Board, which is administered by Durham County Council.

Alan Boddy, chief executive of Livin and chair of the board, said: “Maintaining key services within our town centre is essential in supporting both residents and local businesses.

“The board’s contribution demonstrates the importance of partnership working in delivering positive outcomes for Spennymoor and ensuring that important community assets continue to thrive.”

The new post office is intended to provide a modern, accessible environment for customers and staff while supporting increased footfall in the town centre.

Cllr Karen Allison, Durham County Council’s cabinet member for leisure, tourism, regeneration and high street, said: “The Post Office plays a crucial role in the daily lives of residents, businesses and community organisations across Spennymoor.

“By supporting this relocation, we are helping to secure this essential service for the future, while contributing to the wider regeneration of the town centre.

“This investment reflects our commitment to creating a vibrant, accessible and sustainable town centre that works for everyone.”

The project will contribute to ongoing regeneration plans, including proposals for a new public car park on the former Spennymoor Library site and adjoining private land.
