The Post Office, which was located in the Mace Store in Crayford Road, closed following an issue with its lease. The Post Office have advised Mr Evennett that: “there are a number of interested local businesses who are going through the application process”.

Mr Evennett commented: “I have continued to raise concerns with the Post Office, who have assured me that they are working hard to reopen a branch as soon as possible.”

“However, I am very concerned about the impact this is having on local residents and businesses, and I shall continue to pursue this on behalf of my constituents.”
