The new postmaster will carry out works to create a marked pedestrian walkway, from the pavement in front of the forecourt to provide safe access to the entrance of the new premises.

The previous Bodenham Post Office branch closed in April 2021 due to the retirement of the Postmaster.

Currently the community is served by a temporary, part-time, mobile post office at Bodenham Enterprise Park. This will cease on August 2.

We are keen to restore this branch to the area as soon as possible, so we have decided to go ahead with our plans.
