Dawley Post Office is opening today
We’re delighted to announce that Dawley Post Office is opening its doors today (Fri) at 1pm –restoring a vital service to the heart of the community once again.
Long-standing Dawley businessman Gurjinder (Gurj) Singh is the new postmaster and is housing the service at his convenience store at Lifestyle Express Top Shop, Burton Street.
The Post Office was previously based within the Co-op on Dawley High Street but the Co-op chose not to renew its lease in summer 2022.
Post Office opening hours for the first week from today (Fri) due to onsite training are as follows:
Friday 14 April (1pm-5pm)
Saturday 15 April (9am-12pm)
Sunday 16 April – Closed
Mon 17 April – Friday 21 April (9am-5pm)
Saturday 22 April (9am-12pm)
Sunday 23 April - Closed
Then from Monday 24 April the Post Office will be open 7 days a week and the full opening hours are:
Monday to Saturday: 8am – 7pm
Sunday: 10am - 4pm.
These hours will mean 72 hours of Post Office service a week which is an extra 19 hours and 30 minutes of Post Office service than before.
This includes earlier opening and later closing making it easier for customers to visit and there are now two Post Office counters alongside the retail counter.
Dawley Post Office will remain a mains branch which offers a wide range of Post Office services.
