IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
After more than 20 years of serving our community, we are writing to share the news that our Post Office and shop will be closing on 31st July 2026.
This decision has not been made lightly. The business has been on the market for the past two years, but despite significant reductions in the asking price, there has been no serious interest in taking it on. Alongside this, we feel the time is right for us to retire due to age and health considerations.
The business will remain actively marketed by our Agents and should this result in a positive outcome we will of course review our decision.
In the interim, the Post Office and Stores will continue to be operated as ‘Business as Usual’ with minor amendments as reasonably appropriate, and we continue to need your valued custom.
We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all our loyal customers over the years, as well as to our dedicated staff in both the shop and Post Office.
Your support and friendship have meant a great deal to us.
The shop and Post Office will both close and cease trading on 31st July 2026.
With sincere thanks,
Sue and David Watts.
