The Parish Council understands that Capel Post Office will reopen as a Post Office Local Service on Tuesday 9th October 2012.

At the time of writing we understand that the Capel Post Office will be signing an agreement with the Post Office to change to the new Post Office Local service as from the beginning of October. It is hoped that in the interim some arrangement can be reached which keeps the Post Office open in its current premises.

Post Office Local is a new concept for delivering post Office services from premises of an established outlet. The service will operate from a newly formatted open plan counter that will offer a wide range of Post Office services alongside retail transactions. The Carters store will offer a large selection of convenience products and Post Office customers will benefit from extended opening hours including Saturday afternoon and earlier opening times throughout the week (Monday to Saturday 7:00am to 7:00pm) The Post Office will close on Sundays.
