Boscombe’s Post Office will move to new premises later this year, with a relocation planned for October.
The current branch at 1 Royal Arcade, Christchurch Road, will close on Tuesday 28 October at 6pm. A new Post Office will then open on Friday 31 October at 9am at 29–31 Sea Road, around 120 metres from the existing site.
The new site was previously used for Wah Hing Chinese Supermarket.
The new location, currently empty, will undergo a full refurbishment to house Boscombe Precinct Post Office as well as a store selling cards and stationery. The existing postmaster will remain in place to continue providing services to the local community.
The new branch will feature three serving positions: two screened counters and a Post Office counter at the retail till. Customers will still be able to access the same range of services as before.
Opening hours will remain unchanged, running Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm, Saturdays from 9am to 4pm, and Sundays from 7.30am to 2pm.
The Sea Road site is close to the current branch and has time-restricted roadside parking nearby for customer convenience.
