Dawley Post Office Statement
Statement from Councillors Shaun Davies, Bob Wennington, Andy Burford, Ian Preece and Kuldip Sahota
“The Co-op and Post Office provide a valuable service to Dawley residents and are an important, active member of the high street. That’s why we will do everything we can to keep a post office and a thriving retail site at the heart of Dawley’s community.
"The post office is run by the Co-op and the lease is due to expire in the summer. Despite our best efforts, it has been difficult to engage with the Co-op but we have engaged in positive discussions with the post office who remain committed to the High street.
"We will however continue to work closely with all stakeholders including Great Dawley Town Council to look at a range of options. This will include full support through our Pride in Our High Street programme – and this isn’t just about money but also about providing time and expertise over the long term. We are also sorry for the staff affected by this and will offer as much support as we can.
“We want tor reassure the Dawley community that we will do everything we can to retain the post office and thriving unit in a key position at the heart of the high street so that it can continue to serve the local community as it has so well for so many years.”
